Pentalogía de cantrell en un recién nacido expuesto en útero a misoprostol

Abstract

Misoprostol is a synthetic analogue of prostaglandin E1 and is used for effects such as uterotonic abortifacient. In countries where abortion is used as unsuccessful in the first trimester of gestation, reported a spectrum of congenital malformations associated with prenatal exposure, which include Moebius syndrome, abdominal wall defects, and anomalies as artrogriposis reduction members, among others. The pentalogy of Cantrell with a prevalence of 1 in 65,000 live births, is a syndrome consisting of 5 abnormalities: a defect in the abdominal wall, lower sternal defect, defect above the diaphragm, diaphragmatic pericardial defect, and congenital abnormalities of the heart. We report a case of Pentalogy of Cantrell associated with the use of misoprostol in the first trimester of pregnancy, this report is the first record of this association.
