Abstract
Ectopia Cordis (EC) is defined as a congenital defect which babies are born with their hearts outside their bodies. Abnormally located hearth (partially or totally outside of the thorax) mostly causes accompanying congenital anomalies. Although treatment options are limited and mortality rate is relatively high, surgical intervention is one of the most common treatment approaches. This paper presents a case of thoracic ectopia cordis with good outcome and its surgical intervention.
