The imaging diagnosis of Poland syndrome is mostly computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), whereas high-frequency ultrasound for the diagnosis of Poland syndrome is relatively rare.
To investigate the diagnostic value of high-frequency ultrasound for Poland syndrome.
A retrospective analysis of 15 patients diagnosed with Poland syndrome was performed, and the characteristics of ultrasound images were summarized.
High-frequency ultrasound clearly depict the anatomical structures of each layer of the chest wall in patients with Poland syndrome. Ultrasonography mainly showed partial or total absence of the pectoralis major muscle on the affected side, and some of which were combined with the absence of the pectoralis minor muscle. The difference was statistically significant in the thickness of the affected chest wall compared with the healthy side ( < 0.01). Out of 15 cases with Poland syndrome, 11 were associated with ipsilateral brachydactyly or syndactyly, and high-frequency ultrasonography showed that the bifurcation position of the common palmar digital artery on the affected finger was lower than that on the healthy side.
High-frequency ultrasound is an effective imaging method for the diagnosis of Poland syndrome.
波兰综合征的影像学诊断主要为计算机断层扫描（CT）或磁共振成像（MRI），高频超声诊断波兰综合征则相对少见。
探讨高频超声对波兰综合征的诊断价值。
回顾性分析 15 例经临床诊断为波兰综合征的患者，总结其高频超声图像特点。
高频超声能清晰显示波兰综合征患者的胸廓各层组织结构。超声主要表现为患侧胸大肌部分或完全缺如，部分患者合并胸小肌缺如，患侧胸廓厚度与健侧比较差异有统计学意义（ < 0.01）。15 例波兰综合征患者中，11 例合并同侧短指或并指，高频超声显示患指的掌总动脉在指蹼的分叉位置较健侧低。
高频超声是诊断波兰综合征的一种有效影像学方法。
