Abstract
Cleft sternum is a rare congenital malformation of the chest cavity. The failure of embryologic fusion of mescenchymal cells in
the midline causes the amomaly, leaving the mediastinal viscera exposed to injuries. The defect is usually divided into partial or
complete forms and is often accompanied by other anomalies. The etiology and incidence are not yet known. We present a case of
bifid sternum with hemangioma of the face.
