Ectopia cordis in an adult patient with COVID-19: A case report and literature review. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep, 2022
Ectopia cordis (EC) is a rare anomaly of unknown etiology rarely surviving to adulthood. We described EC who died of COVID‐19 and its complications despite full resuscitation. Patients with EC may survive to adulthood if they have an incomplete EC, fewer intracardiac, and an absence of an omphalocele.

Amniotic band syndrome and limb body wall complex in Europe 1980–2019

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 4, Page 995-1006, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) and limb body wall complex (LBWC) have an overlapping phenotype of multiple congenital anomalies and their etiology is unknown. We aimed to determine the prevalence of ABS and LBWC in Europe from 1980 to 2019 and to describe the spectrum of congenital anomalies.
