Abstract

Pentalogy of Cantrell (PC) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by changes in the mesodermal median structures and congenital heart disease, often with a poor prognosis. In 1958, Cantrell et al[2] defined the full spectrum of the syndrome with the following anomalies: defects of the anterior diaphragm, of the lower part of the sternum, of the supraumbilical region and the abdominal wall, of the diaphragmatic pericardium, and various intracardiac congenital abnormalities. The present report describes a case of ectopia cordis associated with PC and the importance of the participation of a multidisciplinary team in the treatment of this condition.

Resumo

A pentalogia de Cantrell (PC) é uma rara anomalia congênita caracterizada por alterações nas estruturas medianas mesodérmicas e doenças cardíacas congênitas, cursando muitas vezes com um mau prognóstico. Em 1958, Cantrell et al[2] definiram o espectro completo da síndrome com as seguintes anomalias: defeitos do diafragma anterior, da parte inferior do esterno, da região supraumbilical e parede abdominal, do pericárdio diafragmático, e várias anormalidades congênitas intracardíacas. O presente relato relaciona-se a um caso de ectopia cordis associado à PC e à importância da participação de uma equipe multidisciplinar no acompanhamento da doença.
