A rare developmental defect in which the heart is abnormally located partially or totally outside the THORAX. It is the result of defective fusion of the anterior chest wall. Depending on the location of the heart, ectopia cordis can be thoracic, thoracoabdominal, abdominal, and cervical.
Rare congenital deformity syndrome characterized by a combination of five anomalies as a result of neural tube defect. The five anomalies are a midline supraumbilical abdominal wall defect (e.g., OMPHALOCELE), a lower STERNUM defect, a congenital intracardiac defect, an anterior DIAPHRAGM defect, and a diaphragmatic PERICARDIUM defect (e.g., PERICARDIAL EFFUSION). Variants with incomplete and variable combinations of the defects are known. ECTOPIA CORDIS; CLEFT LIP; and CLEFT PALATE are often associated with the syndrome.
Congenital displacement of the lens resulting from defective zonule formation.
A sudden CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA (e.g., VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION) caused by a blunt, non-penetrating impact to the precordial region of chest wall. Commotio cordis often results in sudden death without prompt cardiopulmonary defibrillation.
'Abnormalities, Multiple' is a broad term referring to the presence of two or more structural or functional anomalies in an individual, which may be genetic or environmental in origin, and can affect various systems and organs of the body.

Thoracic ectopia cordis with anatomically normal heart. (1/8)

Ectopia cordis is a rare congenital malformation, which is commonly associated with other intracardiac defects. At two-day-old full-term baby girl was admitted to Santa Casade Misericordia Hospital Montes Claros, NG, Brazil, with thoracic ectopia cordis. A transthoracic echocardiographic study did not identify any associated congenital heart diseases. The infant underwent surgical treatment using a rib graft to create a neo-sternum. She was discharged after presenting a good outcome on the 20th postoperative day.  (+info)

Prenatal diagnosis of ectopia cordis: case report. (3/8)

Ectopia cordis is a rare and impressive malformation presenting as an isolated lesion or as part of the Cantrell's pentology syndrom. It is defined as an anomaly in which the fetal heart lies outside the thoracic cavity. THE AIM of the study is to report the prenatal diagnostic features and management of ectopia cordis. CASE REPORT: We report a prenatal diagnosis case of ectopia cordis using two-dimensional ultrasound at 19 weeks of gestation. Multiple congenital anomalies were found. The most important one was the presence of a ventral thoracoabdominal wall defect with exstrophy of the heart, liver, stomach and intestines. Histopathological examination confirmed the ultrasound findings. Due to severity of the malformations, termination of pregnancy was made.  (+info)

Ectopia Cordis is a rare congenital condition in which the heart or a portion of it is located outside the chest wall during fetal development. It is caused by the failure of the anterior chest wall and ventricular septum to close properly, resulting in the heart being exposed on the exterior of the body or covered only by a thin layer of skin. This condition is often associated with other congenital defects, such as cardiac abnormalities, chromosomal anomalies, and genetic syndromes. The severity of ectopia cordis can vary widely, from mild cases where the heart is partially outside the chest to severe cases where it is completely exposed. Treatment typically involves surgical correction, which can be complex due to the presence of other associated defects.

Pentalogy of Cantrell is a rare congenital anomaly that affects the development of the anterior chest wall and abdominal wall, as well as the heart and diaphragm. It is characterized by the presence of five distinct malformations:

1. Midline supraumbilical abdominal wall defect (omphalocele or gastroschisis)
2. Lower sternal cleft
3. Diaphragmatic hernia
4. Ectopia cordis (congenital heart defect with the heart partially or completely outside of the chest)
5. Absence of pericardium (the sac surrounding the heart)

The condition is thought to arise from a failure of lateral fusions during embryonic development, leading to the characteristic pattern of malformations. Pentalogy of Cantrell is often associated with other congenital anomalies and syndromes, and it carries a high mortality rate due to the severity of the cardiac defects.

Ectopia lentis is a medical term that refers to the displacement or malpositioning of the lens in the eye. The lens, which is normally located behind the iris and held in place by tiny fibers called zonules, can become dislocated due to various reasons such as genetic disorders like Marfan syndrome, trauma, or other ocular diseases.

When the lens becomes displaced, it can cause a variety of symptoms including blurry vision, double vision, sensitivity to light, and distorted images. In some cases, ectopia lentis may be asymptomatic and only discovered during a routine eye examination. Treatment for ectopia lentis depends on the severity of the displacement and any associated symptoms. In mild cases, no treatment may be necessary, while in more severe cases, surgery may be required to reposition or remove the lens and replace it with an artificial one.

Commotio cordis is a medical condition that results from a sudden, violent blow to the chest, which can cause the heart to stop beating (cardiac arrest). It usually occurs in young, healthy individuals during sports activities. The impact disrupts the electrical activity of the heart without causing any structural damage to the organ. This disruption can lead to ventricular fibrillation, an abnormal heart rhythm that prevents the heart from pumping blood effectively. If not treated promptly with defibrillation, commotio cordis can result in death within minutes.

'Abnormalities, Multiple' is a broad term that refers to the presence of two or more structural or functional anomalies in an individual. These abnormalities can be present at birth (congenital) or can develop later in life (acquired). They can affect various organs and systems of the body and can vary greatly in severity and impact on a person's health and well-being.

Multiple abnormalities can occur due to genetic factors, environmental influences, or a combination of both. Chromosomal abnormalities, gene mutations, exposure to teratogens (substances that cause birth defects), and maternal infections during pregnancy are some of the common causes of multiple congenital abnormalities.

Examples of multiple congenital abnormalities include Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and VATER/VACTERL association. Acquired multiple abnormalities can result from conditions such as trauma, infection, degenerative diseases, or cancer.

The medical evaluation and management of individuals with multiple abnormalities depend on the specific abnormalities present and their impact on the individual's health and functioning. A multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals is often involved in the care of these individuals to address their complex needs.
