چکیده
Introduction: Ectopia cordis is a rare congenital defect and a true neonatal surgical emergency, with an occurrence of 5.5 to 7.9 cases per million live births [1]. This impressive malformation develops due to failure of maturation of the midline mesodermal components of the chest and abdomen [2]. The disorder is classified into five anatomical types including cervical, cervicothoracic, thoracic, thoracoabdominal, and abdominal. Here we report our experience with a neonate with total Ectopia cordis (thoracic type), our objective is to review the anesthetic implications of this rare neonatal surgical emergency.
