title: [Congenital pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle].
abstract: A case of congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle is presented. Congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle is a rare entity that has poorly been documented in the pediatric literature. The etiology and pathogenesis still remain obscure. The clinical and radiological appearances are characteristic. Differential diagnosis lies between postpartum fracture, posttraumatic pseudarthrosis, cleidocranial dysostosis and neurofibromatosis.
