Abstract

Congenital bilateral pseudoarthrosis is an extremely rare condition. We report a neonate with bilateral congenital clavicle pseudoarthrosis. The neonate had a palpable gap bilaterally. Radiological examination confirmed the diagnosis. The baby had a complete spontaneous healing in a year. We review the recent literature.

Keywords: Bilateral; Clavicle; Congenital; Pseudoarthrosis.
