First-Trimester Ectopia Cordis in a Twin Gestation, Using 3D Surface Rendering and Reconstruction

Donald S. Hill, RDMS, APS, RT(R)

360 Kingstown Road, Narragansett, RI 02882dhill4324{at}aol.com

Ectopia cordis is a very rare and impressive congenital abnormality. This case study demonstrates an 8-week, 5-day twin gestation with one embryo affected and the other normal. The abnormal fetus spontaneously expired at 11 weeks, 5 days gestation. The surviving twin remains alive and well at 18 weeks gestation. Because of the ongoing normal pregnancy, pathologic confirmation is unlikely.

Key Words: ectopia cordis • pentalogy of Cantrell • 3D sonography
