|
Ectopia cordis means that heart is partially or totally outside the thorax. There are essentially four types of ectopia cordis: central, thoracic, thoracoabdominal, and abdomial. Associated intrathoracic anomalies are common. Death occurs in the first day of life in majority of instances, usually from infection, cardiac failure, or hypoxemia. the sternum is split and the heart protrudes outside the chest in the thoracic form of ectopia cofdis. We present a case of thoracic ectopia cordis which was diagnosed at 25 weeks` gestation by ultrasonography with a brief review of literature.
