Abstract:
Ectopia cordis is a rare congenital anomaly. This may be of various types depending on the extent of soft tissue involved. Here a case of ectopia cordis with omphalocele, diagnosed prenatally, who survived 20 minutes after birth in spite of all resuscitative measures is being presented. Embryologically, the defect might have started at 21 days of gestation, due to thoracic cavity compression by ruptured chorion/yolk sac.
