Abstract

Thoracoschisis is a rare congenital malformation characterized by the herniation of abdominal contents through a chest wall defect. It can occur as an isolated entity or associated with the Limb Body Wall Complex (LBWC) syndrome. The isolated form is the less frequent, with only 6 cases reported in the literature. We report the case of a female neonate with isolated thoracoschisis and review the few cases previously reported.
