Congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle (CPC) is a rare disorder with an unknown etiology, which is caused by a failure of the clavicle ossification nuclei union process. This is the first CPC twin instance documented in Saudi Arabia, and the fourth overall. In the 33rd week, a set of twins was born prematurely with respiratory distress syndrome. They were both admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. X-rays of the chest were taken, and the clavicular deformity was discovered. Because the twins were born via a cesarean section, a traumatic clavicular fracture was ruled out. The family members were evaluated, and the same defect was discovered in the father as well, highlighting a genetic predisposition.
先天性锁骨假关节（CPC）是一种病因不明的罕见疾病，由锁骨骨化核联合过程失败引起。这是沙特阿拉伯记录的首例CPC双胞胎病例，也是全球第四例。在第33周时，一对双胞胎早产，患有呼吸窘迫综合征。他们都被送入新生儿重症监护病房。进行了胸部X光检查，发现了锁骨畸形。由于双胞胎是通过剖宫产出生的，排除了外伤性锁骨骨折。对家庭成员进行了评估，发现父亲也有同样的缺陷，这突出了遗传易感性。
