We report a case of pentalogy of Cantrell with anencephaly diagnosed in utero on 2‐dimensional sonography at 17 weeks of gestation. Due to associated anencephaly, termination of pregnancy was carried out. Histopathological examination confirmed the sonographic findings. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2010
