Among the rarest, and at times the most spectacular, of congenital anomalies, ectopia cordis varies widely in its anatomical manifestations. The earliest report is apparently that of Niels Stensen in 1671, describing a cardiac monster with the heart and other organs protruding from the chest.30The unusual spectacle presented by an exposed heart beating

Challenges in the management of ectopia cordis
Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2001ECTOPIA CORDIS, a rare congenital anomaly, presents as a neonatal emergency demanding early surgical intervention. Anesthetic and intensive care management of a patient with ectopia cordis can be challenging. The anatomic defects comprising this disorder include an extrathoracic heart with associated sternal, chest wall, pericardial, and abdominal wall

Immediate Operation for Ectopia Cordis
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1979Forty-one infants with thoracoabdominal ectopia cordis have been reported to date; 9 of them survived. Among the patients with an omphalocele as the abdominal wall defect, however, only 2 survived. Death in this group of patients occurred almost exclusively as a consequence of either attempted coverage of the heart or secondary to the associated ...

Ectopia cordis is a rare congenital anomaly with an unknown incidence. The heart lies totally or partially outside the thoracic cage. Sternal cleft without cardiac protrusion outside the thorax is not included. The condition is often associated with various cardiac and extracardiac anomalies.

Fetal Echocardiography in Ectopia Cordis
Pediatric Cardiology, 2000Ectopia cordis is an extremely rare congenital abnormality occurring in 5.5 to 7.9 per 1 million live births with high lethality. Between January 1995 and October 1997 eight cases of ectopia cordis were diagnosed at our institute before birth. On the basis of echocardiography the fetal heart anatomy was categorized as either normal heart anatomy (NHA ...

Staged repair of ectopia cordis
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1982Ectopia cordis is a challenging congenital anomaly that generally has defied repair because of the magnitude of the deformity and the associated defects, particularly the intracardiac anomalies. We were fortunate to be presented with a boy who had successfully undergone an operation on the day of his birth to provide skin coverage over his bare ectopic

Ectopia cordis thoracoabdominalis in a piglet
Veterinary Record, 1984A congenital anomaly characterised by displacement of the heart through a ventral body wall fissure involving the thoracic and cranial abdominal regions was recorded in a female Yorkshire-cross piglet. Dissection to assess the morphology of the developmental defect and a summary review of the literature on ectopia cordis were made. This case appears to

In his description of congenital conditions of the heart, Osier 1 mentions and defines ectopia cordis as a condition associated with fission of the chest wall and of the abdomen, in which the heart is displaced so that it passes out of the thorax and lies either on the outer surface of the body or in the abdominal cavity.
