“…The neonate was admitted in the intensive care unit because of respiratory distress from a cervical cyst. 8 Another neonate, with suspicion for possible fractures of the clavicle, because of a feeling of prominence of the newborn's shoulders, revealed the pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle. 9 In our patient there was a feeling of gap in both clavicles.…”

“…[1][2][3] It is true incidence is not well reported in the literature with, in a study from 2000, just 200 cases reported. 6 It is more frequent in females, unilateral and usually involves the right side, with 10% of bilateral involvement 4 . Involvement of the left clavicle is usually associated with dextrocardia and cervical ribs or situs inversus.…”

“…[1][2][3] Its true incidence is not well reported in literature, it is more frequent in females and usually involves the right side, with bilateral involvement in 10% of cases. 4 It usually presents at birth or early childhood with a painless swelling over the right clavicle mid-third, which can be confused with a traumatic clavicle fracture. It persists over lifetime most often with no functional limitation.…”

Introdução: A pseudartrose congénita da clavícula apresenta-se como uma tumefação congénita indolor da clavícula, normalmente direita, afetando predominantemente o sexo feminino. Esta deformidade persiste ao longo da vida, não estando por norma associada a défice funcional. Descrição de um caso de pseudartrose congénita da clavícula com 12 anos de seguimento e revisão da literatura. Caso Clínico: Recém-nascido de termo, com gravidez e parto eutócico não complicados, apresentava, à observação, tumefação óssea (1x1 cm), no 1/3 médio da clavícula direita, sem limitação funcional do membro superior ou outras alterações. A imagem radiográfica mostrava um defeito ósseo no 1/3 médio da clavícula direita, com topos arredondados, lisos e regulares, sem evidência de calo ósseo. Foi estabelecido o diagnóstico de pseudartrose congénita da clavícula. Durante 12 anos de seguimento em consulta externa manteve-se assintomático, sem limitação funcional do membro superior, com desenvolvimento estaturo-ponderal normal, e nas radiografias realizadas mantinha as características descritas do defeito ósseo. Aos 4 anos, por motivos estéticos, foi proposta correção cirúrgica, que os pais recusaram. Conclusão: Sendo rara, a pseudartrose congénita da clavícula pode ser diagnosticada por uma história clínica adequada, exame objetivo e achados radiográficos típicos. é essencial excluir diagnósticos diferenciais, como fratura ou doenças ósseas raras, e tranquilizar os pais quanto à benignidade desta condição.

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle (CPC) is a rare disorder diagnosed at birth or early childhood presenting with a painless, non-tender mass on the clavicle. Its etiology is unknown, caused by failure of fusion of the medial and lateral ossification centers of the clavicle. Left-sided CPC is rare and linked to other pathological abnormalities. Bilateral involvement is extremely rare and it is seen in association with other congenital malformations. A full-term newborn baby girl was examined after a complicated emergency cesarean section delivery. Upon initial pediatric examination, there was suspicion of bilateral clavicle fracture with no limitation of movement and equal moro reflex bilateral. Plain radiographs of the clavicle revealed a suspected bilateral fracture of the clavicle. At the two-month follow-up, X-rays were taken to assess the clavicle fractures showing persistent bilateral clavicle deformities and there was no interval callus formation which confirmed the diagnosis of bilateral CPC and excluded the presence of the fracture. Bilateral pseudarthrosis of the clavicle is a rare entity, and surgical correction is not required unless the patient develops symptoms of limitations of movement or for aesthetic causes.
