title: Real-time echo-Doppler Duplex Scanner in the evaluation of patients with Poland sequence.
abstract: In two neonates with partial Poland sequence, an infant with complete Poland sequence and his mother subclavian artery diameter and its flow velocity waveforms were determined by real-time echo-Doppler Duplex Scanner. These measurements were significantly lower than on the normal side in the same patient. Subclavian hypoplasia appears as a local vascular defect which, in addition to thoracic muscle defects and bone defects of the hand, may be one of the main components of the Poland sequence.
