Pentalogy of Cantrell is a low frequency disease within multiple pregnancy, characterized with malformations with five anomalies defects: lower sternal defect, midline supraumbilical abdominal wall defect, diaphragmatic pericardial defect, anterior diaphragmatic defect and various intracardiac malformations. We report a case in a patient in her first pregnancy of 22 year old, twin pregnancy. She is 27, 3 weeks pregnant, comes for ultrasound control of the gestation, where the following ultrasound results are found: anencephaly, facial abnormalities and the heart out of the chest cavity. The birth of the twins is given via caesarian section at 35 weeks; the first of normal appearance and the second with Pentalogy of Cantrell and other associated malformations.
