Abstract
A newborn girl presented to the hospital on the first day of life because of respiratory failure. She was born at home at 37 weeks' gestation with minimal prenatal care and was found to be small for gestational age. The patient was found to have partial sternal agenesis and sternal cleft, cutis aplasia, left facial hemangioma, micrognathia, wide-spaced nipples, and low-set ears. The mother's and baby's urine toxicology screening were positive for amphetamines. Chest radiographs on admission showed bilateral hazy opacities. CT scan of the chest showed an absent sternum with midline chest wall concavity. The patient was monitored preoperatively in the cardiac ICU for risks of arrythmia, respiratory failure, altered cardiac output, and acute cardiopulmonary decompensation.
