Surgical reconstruction for absence of sternum and pericardium in a newborn
Indian J Pediatr.

Abstract
We report the surgical management of a 3 day old baby with absent sternum and pericardium with impending rupture of the skin cover. The repair described is innovative and may be used in place of primary repair by bringing the ribs together. Review of embryology and various modalities of closure are provided.
