Abstract

|
Ecotopia cordis is a rare congenital malformation which usually results in death soon after birth. Although many reports exist on management of patients with various types of ectopia cordis, very little information is avaliable regarding its etiology. The entire group of anolmalies would appear to be closely related in embryologic development, arising as the result of defective formation and differentiation of the ventral mesoderm at about 14 to 18 days of embryonic life. The initial problem with ectopia cordis is to provide skin coverage of the bare geart. This must be done within hours of the baby birth and be accomplished without significant cardiac compression. Recently, a case of ectopia cordis which was diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography at 36 gestational weeks in a 28 years old primipara was experienced at our department. We present this case with a brief review of literature.
