Cleft sternum is a rare disturbance of unknown origin in the normal central midline fusion. Three cases of upper cleft sternum are reported here, one associated with a pericardium to the skin sinus tract. Surgical correction of this anomaly in the neonatal period is advised, whether the infant is symptomatic or not. Simple closure of the defect during the first month of life avoids the more complex reconstruction necessary in older children.
胸骨裂是正常中央中线融合过程中一种罕见的、病因不明的发育障碍。本文报告3例上部胸骨裂，其中1例伴有心包至皮肤的窦道。建议在新生儿期对这种畸形进行手术矫正，无论婴儿有无症状。在出生后第一个月内简单闭合缺损可避免大龄儿童所需的更复杂重建手术。
