A rare case presentation for congenital pseudarthrosis of collar bone

Abstract

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle (CPC) is a rare diagnosis of undetermined etiologies with a limited number of cases were reported. Classically, children patients presenting asymptomatic with a diagnosis that can be confirmed by X-rays with the absence of a central zone portion of the clavicle. Although clinical presentations are variable, which ranges from being asymptomatic to discomfort or sometimes restriction in shoulder range of motion, thus, some cases reported manifestations of thoracic outlet syndromes. Therefore, Management of such cases is individually tailored from conservative to surgical intervention when indicated in overt symptomatic patients or those with significant deformity. Here, we present a case of right-sided CPC in a 13-year-old male patient detected as he concerned about its appearance, which diagnosed and managed non-surgically with further follow- up in our hospital.
