Primary Closure of a Partial Superior Sternal Cleft in a 27-day-old Neonate: Case Report with Short Review of Literature

A sternal cleft is a chest wall malformation resulting from a failure of sternal fusion.

description A sternal cleft is a chest wall malformation resulting from a failure of sternal fusion. It is a rare anomaly with an incidence of 2:100,000 live births representing less than a percent of all chest wall deformities. The aim of surgery is to provide bony protection over the mediastinal structures. We present a 27-day-old neonate with an upper partial sternal cleft for whom successful primary sternal closure was performed.
