Abstract
Introduction: Pentalogy of Cantrell is a rare syndrome of unknown etiology characterized by multiple structural congenital anomalies.
Case Report: We aimed to present an early diagnosed case of pentalogy of Cantrell accompanied by craniorachischisis.
Conclusion: Pentalogy of Cantrell can be diagnosed with a careful ultrasonography in the first trimester. Potential side effects of pregnancy termination to the mother can be reduced by the early diagnose of the disease.

Keywords: Pentalogy of Cantrell, Fetus, Ectopia cordis, Craniorachischisis
