We present a case of a neonate born with prenatal diagnosis of Cantrell syndrome and ectopia cordis. This extremely rare congenital disorder underscores the significant need for multimodality imaging to plan further management. The aim of the study was to present the thoracoabdominal syndrome using a three-dimensional computed tomography angiography. The CT scans confirmed complex intracardiac defects consisting of tetralogy of Fallot, total anomalous pulmonary venous return and persistent left superior vena cava. In conclusion, Cantrell syndrome necessitates a multidisciplinary approach, from the onset of the prenatal diagnosis followed by prompt medical imaging and surgical interventions after birth. The thoracoabdominal wall defect including complete ectopia cordis is an extremely rare disorder with a fatal outcome.
