Ectopia cordis is a rare congenital heart anomaly where the heart is abnormally located outside the thoracic cavity. The defect lies in the failure of the midline closure of the body wall by lateral and head and tail folds. Because of its associated abnormalities, ectopia cordis is a challenging congenital anomaly. The prognosis of ectopia cordis depends on its classification and associated intracardiac anomalies. |
