A newborn infant with sternal malformation/vascular dysplasia association
Abstract
Sternal malformation/vascular dysplasia complex was described by Hersch et al. in 1985. The principle findings include cleft of the sternum covered by an atrophic skin, a midline abdominal raphe and hemangiomatosis. The inheritance pattern seems to be sporadic. We report a newborn baby with sternal defect, cleft lip and palate, supraumbilical raphe and hemangiomas.
