Popis: Omphaloceles and gastroschisis are the most common defects of the fetal anterior abdominal wall. The association of an omphalocele with an anterior thoracic wall defect could result from a variety of congenital syndromes of which Cantrell's pentalogy is the most common. For proper surgical scheduling of the neonate, early diagnosis of each of the components of this syndrome is important. The presence of a congenital intracardiac anomaly is the best predictor of neonatal mortality. We present a case of Cantrell's pentalogy diagnosed prenatally with conventional and three-dimensional sonographic imaging, and confirmed at birth. We discuss this case and the reports in the world literature.
