“…But at an older age, because of increasing rigidity of the chest wall, is not usually possible to approximate the sternal bands without tension and causing respiratory distress. 3,4 In our case, the repair of pectus excavatum, that is, the normal consequence of complete sternal clefts left untreated until an adult age, facilitates approximation of the sternal bars. 5 This method is suitable for complete sternal cleft with pectus excavatum but it is not suitable for complete sternal cleft without pectus excavatum.…”

“…Complete sternal cleft at an adult age is a very rare anomaly, and very few cases have been reported in the literature. 2,3 Sternal cleft results from failure of fusion of the two lateral mesoderm sternal bars by the eighth week of gestation. Depending on the degree of the separation, there are complete and incomplete forms.…”

“…In fact, after the first few years of life, primary closure requires sterno-clavicular disarticulation, sternal isolation, inferior sternal osteotomy and medialization of the neck muscles after separation of their sternoclavicular attachments laterally (Acastello et al, 2003). As it can bring the risk of a circulatory impairment due to cardiovascular compression, in some cases primary sternal suture can be impossible and prosthetic or autologous closure (De Campos et al, 1998) can be preferable because less invasive. Partial thymectomy can be useful to reduce the pressure on thoracic vessels (Torre et al, 2008).…”

“…Toraks uygun büyüklüğe ulaşana kadar aşamalı cerrahi önerilir. İlk girişim kalbin üzerinin yumuşak bir doku veya göğüs ile beraber büyüyebilen otogreft ile örtülmesi önerilir (1,13). Göğüs duvarının rekonstrüksiyonu ileri dönemlerde uygulanır (10,13).…”

“…İlk girişim kalbin üzerinin yumuşak bir doku veya göğüs ile beraber büyüyebilen otogreft ile örtülmesi önerilir (1,13). Göğüs duvarının rekonstrüksiyonu ileri dönemlerde uygulanır (10,13). Olgumuzda kalbin üstünde koruyucu bir zar olduğundan cerrahi tedavi için toraksın genişlemesinin beklenmesinin daha uygun olacağı düşünüldü.…”
