摘要
Superior sternal cleft repair aims to restore bony protection to mediastinal structures and to eliminate visible deformity. We describe a 4-day-old neonate with an isolated defect who successfully underwent primary repair using a low cervical skin crease incision. Such a novel approach combined optimal surgical exposure and excellent cosmesis. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
