CLINICAL CASE: POLAND SYNDROME
Poland syndrome is a fairly rare congenital malformation. The overall incidence rate is 1 in 30,000 to 100,000 births. Since 1841 about 500 cases of Poland syndrome have been described worldwide. It often happens sporadically. Poland syndrome occurs predominantly among males at a ratio of 2-3:1 to females.
Currently, the prevailing theory of the cause of Poland syndrome is the violation of blood flow (hypoplasia) of the subclavian and/or vertebral artery and their branches during the 6th week of intrauterine development, which leads to various malformations on the side of vascular underdevelopment. This paper describes a rare clinical case of an infant with Poland syndrome with a fatal outcome.
The data provided in the article will be useful for neonatologists, paediatricians and general practitioners.
