Giant congenital aortic aneurysm with cleft sternum, supraumbilical raphé, and hemangiomatosis: report and review.
We report on a child with giant congenital aortic aneurysm, sternal defect, hemangiomas of face, supraumbilical raphé, and review the only two other cases reported to date. Congenital aortic aneurysm is an ominous malformation that has to be systematically searched in children with the sternal malformation/vascular dysplasia complex.
