Abstract
Ten cases of prenatal diagnosis of Pentalogy of Cantrell are reported. A uniformly fatal outcome was found confirmed by a review of similar cases prenatally diagnosed by other authors. This is at variance with the data derived from the pediatric literature. Implications in obstetrical management and parental counseling are discussed.
