POLAND SYNDROME: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Poland syndrome is a rare but serious condition that can affect a child's development and quality of life. Understanding the clinical features of this syndrome and the risk factors that can cause it is essential for timely diagnosis and treatment. However, there is currently a limited number of scientific studies on this pathological condition, so further research in this area is relevant and requires attention. The aim of the study was to review the literature, clinical features of Poland syndrome in a child and to analyse the risk factors that can lead to the onset of this condition.Results of the study. Premature placental abruption is a condition in which the placenta, an organ that forms during pregnancy to provide nutrition and oxygen to the fetus, detaches from the uterine wall before the onset of labour. It disrupts the balance between the forces of the uterine and fetal muscles, which can lead to thrombosis, bleeding and other complications for both mother and fetus. This condition can be observed in any trimester of pregnancy and requires the attention of doctors for timely diagnosis and treatment. Poland syndrome is a congenital anomaly characterised by chest and muscle defects, as well as other developmental defects. According to the Foucras classification, there are three or four degrees of severity, depending on the level of asymmetry and deformation of the chest. Hypoplasia of the chest muscles, cardiovascular anomalies, hand and finger abnormalities are among the complications that can accompany CP. A clinical study revealed severe chest asymmetry and motor disorders in a child diagnosed with Poland syndrome (incomplete form). The risk factors for premature placental abruption in the mother were a history of previous pregnancy complications and a viral urogenital infection.Conclusions. Studying the clinical features of Poland syndrome and the risk factors leading to its occurrence is important for the timely diagnosis and treatment of this condition in children. Understanding these aspects can help improve the quality of life of patients and prevent complications.
