- Background: Ectopia cordis is a complete or partial extrusion of the heart through a ventral defect in the thoracoabdominal wall, either isolated or accompanied by other viscera in instances of pentalogy of Cantrell. Case Report: This six-year-old child has survived with uncorrected ectopia cordis. He is unable to participate in strenuous physical activities and has respiratory limitations. Conclusion: Ectopia cordis most commonly results in stillbirth or neonatal death without surgical treatment. This report highlights the exceptional 6-year survival of a child without surgical correction.
