AMIEIRO PAZ, Myrurgia et al. Newborn with sternal cleft. ccm [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.4, pp. 750-756. ISSN 1560-4381.
A case of a 48-hour male newborn, from an extra-hospital vaginal delivery, with not controlled pregnancy, from an indigenous community, transfered from a public hospital in Maturín, Monagas, Venezuela to the Imaging Service of the Ernesto Che Guevara High Tech Center. He presented chest wall malformation (omphalocele). Thorax Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT) was performed in multislice equipment, with multiplanar reconstructions (2D, 3D) and in rendering volume, to define associated malformations for an accurate diagnosis, early surgical correction which allows normal rib cage development. The CAT showed a total fusion of the sternal leaflets, related to a sternal cleft with dextrocardia and omphalocele.
