Abstract:
Congenital absence of the lower sternum, defect of the abdominal wall, defects of the anterior diaphragm, pericardial defects and cardiac anomalies had been described as a syndrome by Cantrell et al. Developing mechanism of the syndrome was embryologically defined. These defects arise apparently from combined anomalies of developing of the dorsal mesoderm. The authors present two cases of Cantrell's syndrome developed in one day old and eight months old female patient in which angiocardiography was done at the Department of Radiology, Seoul National University Hospital.
