Resumen_ingles
During the embryological life, the sternum originates in the same lateral mesoderm layer where the pectoral muscles are formed. The congenital malformations from the thoracic cavity include a very heterogeneous group of pathologies presenting some alterations in development and morphology ranging from a slight deformity without functional consequences to a serious pathology with life risk. Then the sternal clef is one of the thoracic cavity malformation induced by a sternal fusion defect and has a prevalence of 1 every 50,000 newborns. To date, the sternal cleft was described in a little more than 100 cases without difference between male and female. It appears in the cephalo-caudal development during the ninth living week of the embryo. The diagnosis is at birth following two classifications: partial or totally. The defects most be repaired early in order to re- establish the bone protection from the mediastinum structure, to prevent the paradoxical movement from the respiratory viscera and eliminate visible deformity so that a normal development of the thoracic cavity is allowed. The objective of this paper is to present the case of a patient with an infrequently malformation, expose the clinical characteristics in order to make a precise diagnosis, defining the needed complementary tests and an adequate surgical treatment.
