Abstract
Cantrell’s Pentalogy is a rare congenital malformation consisting of supraumbilical abdominal defect, defect in lower part of sternum, agenesis of anterior portion of diaphragm, ectopiscordis and an intra cardiac defect. Hereby, we are reporting a case of Incomplete Pentalogy of Cantrell with, ectopiacordis, with absent pericardium, gastroschisis and Craniorachischisis.
Keywords: Pentalogy, Cantrell, ectopiacordis, Craniorachischisis.
