Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Ectopia cordis (EC) is an exceptionally rare congenital anomaly with a poor prognosis, particularly in resource-limited settings.
CASE DESCRIPTION: We present a newborn with complete thoracic EC who underwent surgical correction on day 5 of life. Although cardiac repositioning and soft tissue coverage were achieved, the infant died 72 hours postoperatively from septic shock, reflecting the significant challenges faced in such contexts.
CONCLUSION: This case underscores the urgent need for improved antenatal care and technical resources to enhance outcomes for complex congenital anomalies in sub-Saharan Africa.
