DISCUSSION: The pentalogy of Cantrell includes an epigastric-located omphalocele, ectopia cordis, anterior pleuropericardial defect in the diaphragm, sternal cleft, intracardiac defect (most commonly a ventricular septal defect), and in approximately one third of the cases a diverticulum of the left ventricle. Pericardial cysts are not part of the pentalogy.
