  • Co-occurrence of severe Goltz–Gorlin syndrome and Pentalogy of Cantrell – Case report and review of the literature†
    American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2011
    Co-Authors: Robert Smigiel, Aleksandra Jakubiak, Maria Paola Lombardi, Wojciech Jaworski, Ryszard Slezak, Dariusz Patkowski, Raoul C.m. Hennekam
    Abstract:

    Goltz-Gorlin syndrome is a highly variable disorder affecting many body parts of meso-ectodermal origin. Mutations in X-linked PORCN have been identified in almost all patients with a classical Goltz-Gorlin phenotype. The Pentalogy of Cantrell is an infrequently described congenital disorder characterized by the combination of five anomalies: a midline supra-umbilical abdominal wall defect; absent or cleft lower part of the sternum; deficiency of the diaphragmatic pericardium; deficiency of the anterior diaphragm; and congenital heart anomalies. Etiology and pathogenesis are unknown. We report on an infant with findings fitting both Goltz-Gorlin syndrome (sparse hair; anophthalmia; clefting; bifid nose; irregular vermillion of both lips; asymmetrical limb malformations; caudal appendage; linear aplastic skin defects; unilateral hearing loss) and the Pentalogy of Cantrell (absent lower sternum; anterior diaphragmatic hernia; ectopia cordis; omphalocele). The clinical diagnosis Goltz-Gorlin syndrome was confirmed molecularly by a point mutation in PORCN (c.727C>T). The presence of molecularly confirmed Goltz-Gorlin syndrome and Pentalogy of Cantrell in a single patient has been reported twice before. The present patient confirms that the Pentalogy of Cantrell can be caused in some patients by a PORCN mutation. It remains at present uncertain whether this can be explained by the type or localization of the mutation within PORCN, or whether the co-occurrence of the two entities is additionally determined by mutations or polymorphisms in other genes, environmental factors, and/or epigenetic influences.

  • Omphalocele and pericardial effusion: possible sonographic markers for the Pentalogy of Cantrell or its variants.
    Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1996
    Co-Authors: C. Siles, Patricia A. Boyd, N. Manning, T. Tsang, P. Chamberlain
    Abstract:

    Background: The Pentalogy of Cantrell consists of defects involving the diaphragm, abdominal wall, pericardium, heart, and lower sternum. Cases: We report three cases of the Pentalogy of Cantrell (variant form), involving an omphalocele complicated by an anterior diaphragmatic hernia. In two cases, a pericardial effusion was noted at antenatal scanning; the case without a pericardial effusion had an intact diaphragmatic pericardium at surgical repair. Conclusion: The presence of a pericardial effusion in association with an omphalocele should prompt a detailed search for other features of the Pentalogy of Cantrell or its variants.

  • Pericardio-Amniotic Shunting for Incomplete Pentalogy of Cantrell.
    Fetal diagnosis and therapy, 2017
    Co-Authors: Alexander Engels, Anne Debeer, Francesca Russo, Michael Aertsen, Katleen Aerts, Marc Miserez, Jan Deprest, Liesbeth Lewi, Roland Devlieger
    Abstract:

    A 27-year-old woman, gravida 2, para 0, presented with an incomplete Pentalogy of Cantrell with an omphalocele, diaphragmatic hernia, and a pericardial defect at 32 weeks' gestation. A large pericardial effusion compressed the lungs and had led to a reduced lung growth with an observed-to-expected total lung volume of 28% as measured by MRI. The effusion disappeared completely after the insertion of a pericardio-amniotic shunt at 33 weeks. After birth, the newborn showed no signs of pulmonary hypoplasia and underwent a surgical correction of the defect. Protracted wound healing and a difficult withdrawal from opioids complicated the neonatal period. The child was discharged on postnatal day 105 in good condition. This case demonstrates that in case of Pentalogy of Cantrell with large pericardial effusion, the perinatal outcome might be improved by pericardio-amniotic shunting.
