Abstract
Sternal clefts are rare chest wall anomalies which may occur in isolation or in association with cardiac, pericardial, and diaphragmatic defects. We present the first report of a unique chest wall anomaly consisting of a triad of sternal cleft, anterior diaphragmatic hernia, and ectopic, exophytic liver tissue. A partial diagnosis was made on prenatal ultrasound imaging and computed tomography imaging of the baby's chest, but the full extent of the anomaly was only identified at operation. Full repair was completed on the third day of life with excellent outcome.
