Chest Wall Reconstruction With Methacrylate Prosthesis in Poland Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Poland syndrome is a rare congenital malformation. This syndrome was described in 1841 by Alfred Poland at Guy’s Hospital in London. It is characterized by hypoplasia of the breast and nipple, subcutaneous tissue shortages, lack of the costosternal portion of the pectoralis major muscle and associated alterations of the fingers on the same side. Corrective treatment of the chest and soft tissue abnormalities in Poland syndrome varies according to different authors. We report the case of a 17-year-old adolescent who underwent chest wall reconstruction with a methyl methacrylate prosthesis. This surgical procedure is recommended for large anterior chest wall defects, and it prevents paradoxical movement. Moreover it provides for individual remodeling of the defect depending on the shape of the patient’s chest. © 2012 SEPAR. Published by Elsevier España, S.L. All rights reserved.
