A rare sternal cleft malformation in an infant was successfully repaired with early surgery. This case highlights the importance of timely intervention for congenital sternal defects.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Congenital Malformations
  • Thoracic Wall Reconstruction

Background:

  • Congenital sternal clefts are rare thoracic wall defects.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for optimal outcomes.
  • Associated anomalies are common but absent in this case.

Observation:

  • A female infant presented with a complete sternal cleft.
  • The infant was 1 month and 22 days old at presentation.
  • No other congenital anomalies were identified.

Findings:

  • Successful early surgical repair of the complete sternal cleft was achieved.
  • The surgical outcome was positive, with no immediate complications.
  • The case provides insight into the management of isolated sternal defects.
