CORTES Y, Hernán  e  VELEZ V, José Fernando. Prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis of Cantrell's Pentalogy. Rev Colomb Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2003, vol.54, n.1, pp. 13-16. ISSN 0034-7434.

In 1958, Cantrell described a syndromic complex characterized by five defects, these included: ectopia cordis, omphalocele, disruption of the distal sternum, anterior diaphragm, and diaphragmatic pericardium. We present a case of Pentalogy of Cantrell with a late sonographic diagnosis with echocardiography after birth and post-mortem examination. We do a short review of literature.
