CT thorax with pulmonary angiogram protocol was performed to evaluate SOB and chest pain, demonstrating partial ectopia cordis with right ventricular outflow tract herniation. The heart is seen herniated through a midline defect in the sternum (sternal cleft) and lying outside the thorax, covered by skin. An atrial septal defect is also noted.
The lung window image shows diffuse bilateral ground-glass/consolidative opacities in a peripheral distribution. Considering that we are in the COVID-19 pandemic era, it was suspected.
