This study presents two cases of congenital sternal cleft, a rare malformation. Surgical repair in infancy led to successful outcomes, offering valuable insights for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Congenital Malformations
  • Thoracic Wall Anomalies

Background:

  • Congenital sternal clefts are rare thoracic wall defects.
  • Ravitch type 1 represents a specific classification of sternal clefts.
  • Limited clinical experience exists due to the rarity of these cases.

Observation:

  • Two cases of Ravitch type 1 congenital sternal cleft were treated over fifteen years.
  • The patients underwent surgical primary closure within the first month of life.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention in early infancy resulted in satisfactory patient evolution.
  • Primary closure is a viable treatment option for congenital sternal clefts.

Implications:
