POLAND SYNDROME: A RARE CASE
Abstract
Poland syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterised by unilateral absence of sternocostal head of pectoralis major muscle and pectoralis minor muscle along with ipsilateral rib anomaly and frequent association with ipsilateral upper limb brachysyndactyly. We present a case of a 10 month old male child having depressed left side of anterior chest wall without respiratory distress. The imaging findings were characteristic and diagnostic of Poland syndrome.
