Abstract
Pentalogy of Cantrell is rare congenital thoracoabdominal anomaly of anterior midline. We present a case 24 year primigravida at 23 weeks 4 days gestational age reporting for first obstetric ultrasound and was diagnosed with pentalogy of Cantrell. In this case this malformation was also associated with encephalocele and club feet.
