Sažetak
Pentalogy of Cantrell (PC) is a congenital malformation syndrome characterized by midline thoracoabdominal wall defect resulting from defective development in the septum transversum. Major hallmarks of this rare anomaly are omphalocele and ectopic heart. In most cases, the diagnosis is made by two-dimensional ultrasound in second trimester. The prognosis of PC relies on the presence and severity of cardiac anomalies but in most cases outcome is fatal. To the best of our knowledge, the presence of kidneys into the omphalocele in Cantrells' pentalogy has not been reported yet. In this article, we report a case of PC associated with unilateral kidney evisceration.
