Resumen
ZAPATA-GONZALEZ, Ricardo A. et al. Total sternal cleft: sternal reconstruction with absorbable plaques and bovine pericardium in a 4-year-old patient. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.36, n.2, pp.346-351. Epub 23-Jun-2021. ISSN 2011-7582. https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.555.
Sternal cleft is a rare malformation of the embryonic development of the sternum, which may or may not be related to other congenital anomalies. We present the case of a 4-year-old patient with total sternal cleft, who underwent reconstruction of the anterior chest wall with absorbable prosthetic material and bovine pericardium, achieving adequate stability and correction of the function of the chest wall, with a satisfactory evolution after two years of follow-up.
