Pentalogy Of Cantrell

Pentalogy of Cantrell is an extremely rare and lethal syndrome. Ectopia cordis is frequently found in fetuses with POC but not required for incomplete forms. Likewise, meningomyelocele is a relatively uncommon neural tube defect affecting central nervous system and associated with neurological problems. Herein, we presented a woman with dizygotic twin pregnancy having coincidence of incomplete POC and MMC in each individual fetus, which has never been reported previously.

Holoprosencephaly is a rare intracranial malformation seen in newborns, resulting from a failure of separation of the forebrain into separate cerebral hemispheres. It is divided into three subtypes-alobar, semilobar and lobar. Encephalocele is a rare neural tube defect characterised by a defect in the cranial vault with herniation of brain parenchyma along with the overlying meninges. Author has reported a case of a male neonate born of a twin pregnancy to a 29-year-old primigravida presenting with a midline swelling in the frontal region. On imaging studies, the patient was diagnosed with semilobar holoprosencephaly and frontonasal encephalocele with dural arteriovenous fistula. Holoprosencephaly and encephalocoele are important congenital malformations; however association of the two conditions has been rarely described in the literature.
