Abstract
Poland's syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterised by partial or complete absence of sternocostal head of pectoralis major muscle and anomalies of ipsilateral hand and digits. Other associated anomalies involving anterior thoracic wall, breast, diaphragm and vertebrae have also been reported in various cases. We report a case of a 10-year-old girl, with features of left-sided Poland's syndrome associated with spina bifida, dextroposition of the heart and left-sided diaphragmatic hernia. These are rare associations of Poland's syndrome. She was investigated with chest X-ray, contrast-enhanced CT of the thorax, ultrasonography of abdomen and echocardiography which helped in arriving at an accurate diagnosis and assessing all the associated abnormalities.Entities:
