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.

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

Heart positioned outside the chest wall is known as ectopia cordis. Thoracic ectopia cordis (TEC) is extremely rare with a reported incidence of 5.5-7.9/million live births. It is classified as cervical, cervico-thoracic, thoracic and more commonly the thoraco-abdominal or abdominal types. TEC is classified as complete and incomplete.
