Abstract:
Intrauterine clavicle fracture is a rare finding, but can occur as the result of maternal trauma, skeletal dysplasia or theoretically other metabolic/structural abnormalities, but idiopathic isolated intrauterine fracture of an otherwise normal infant, newborn without serious injury to the mother is extremely rare. The authors experienced intrauterine clavicle fracture in normal infant, newborn with no special maternal and fetal history which was only found incidentally at birth. We report two cases of idiopathic isolated intrauterine clavicle fracture with confirmation of the diagnosis by X-rays.
