Abstract excerpt
A new case of Poland syndrome in a male newborn is described. The infant shows typical anomalies of the right hand and ipsilateral pectoral muscle agenesis. The arterial pressure is lower when measured at the affected limb than at the contralateral, suggesting that a vascular pathogenesis could be involved.
