This is a case report of an unusual clinical entity-the Straight Back Syndrome (SBS), in a two and a half (2 1/2) year old cerebral palsied Ghanalan male child. It was an incidental finding in which his lateral x-ray of the chest revealed a straight thoracic spine, devoid of the normal thoracic concavity. Organic heart disease was excluded by his normal electrocardiogram (EGG) and echocardiogram. Review of the literature shows that whereas in the sixties, this syndrome bore no associations with structural heart diseases, in the nineties, there have been significant organic heart defects described as its associates. The reports are however, silent on any association between cerebral palsy and the straight back syndrome.
这是一篇关于一名两岁半患有脑瘫的加纳男童的罕见临床病症——直背综合征（SBS）的病例报告。这是一个偶然发现，其胸部X光侧位片显示胸椎变直，缺乏正常的胸曲。通过正常的心电图（ECG）和超声心动图排除了器质性心脏病。文献综述表明，在六十年代，该综合征与结构性心脏病无关，而在九十年代，已有显著的器质性心脏缺陷被描述为其相关病症。然而，关于脑瘫与直背综合征之间的任何关联，报告中并未提及。
