Poland anomaly is a rare congenital condition affecting chest muscles and limbs. This report details a unique case involving hepatic exstrophy, highlighting the syndrome's complex presentation.

Area of Science:

  • Congenital abnormalities
  • Pediatric surgery
  • Clinical case reports

Background:

  • Poland anomaly is a rare congenital condition characterized by chest muscle underdevelopment and limb abnormalities.
  • The syndrome typically involves pectoralis major and minor muscle deficiency on one side of the body.
  • Associated anomalies can include syndactyly, costal aplasia, and adactyly.

Observation:

  • A case report describes an infant diagnosed with Poland anomaly.
  • The infant presented with a rare and severe complication: hepatic exstrophy.
  • Hepatic exstrophy occurred through a full-thickness chest wall defect.

Findings:

  • This case highlights the potential for severe intrathoracic and extrathoracic anomalies in Poland anomaly.
  • The co-occurrence of hepatic exstrophy with Poland anomaly is exceptionally rare.

  • The chest wall defect facilitated the herniation of abdominal organs.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of comprehensive evaluation in infants with Poland anomaly.
    • Understanding the spectrum of Poland anomaly aids in surgical planning and management.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the embryological mechanisms linking these anomalies.
