Abstract :
Cantrell's pentalogy (CP), a rare congenital malformation, consists of the supraumbilical abdominal wall defect, the
sterna lower part defect and agenesis of the anterior portion of the diaphragm, an absence of the diaphragmatic part of
the pericardium, and a malformation of cardia. This case report presents a female neonate, who was born at 32 weeks of
conception, weighing 1300 g and was admitted one hour after delivery. She had the five anatomical defects known for
Cantrell's Pentalogy. Moreover, autopsy revealed a bilateral cleft lip and palate, a patent ductus arteriosus, and an atrial
and ventricular septal defect.
