Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of ultrasonography in Poland′s syndrome.Methods:From February 2016 to December 2020, the ultrasonographic images of 15 patients with Poland′s syndrome diagnosed by Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University were retrospectively analyzed, and the ultrasonographic features were summarized.Results:High-frequency ultrasound could clearly show the anatomical structures of each layer of the chest wall of the patients with Poland′s syndrome. The sonogram of Poland′s syndrome mainly showed the absence of all or part of the pectoralis major on the affected side, some of which were combined with the absence of pectoralis minor. The difference between the thickness of the affected chest wall and the healthy side was statistically significant ( P<0.01). Among the 15 cases of Poland′s syndrome, 11 cases had brachydactyly or syndactyly. Ultrasound showed that the bifurcation position of the common palmar digital artery of the middle finger was lower than that of the healthy side. Conclusions:The ultrasonography is an effective imaging method for diagnosis of Poland′s syndrome.
