Abstract

Pentalogy of Cantrell (PC) presents a distinctive challenge for clinicians and surgeons. In this case report, we have discussed the presentation, management, and literature review of a case of PC in a 17-month-old female child. The child was successfully managed with single-stage operation by a multidisciplinary team without any postoperative complications.

Keywords: Case report; multidisciplinary team; pentalogy of Cantrell.
