Causes Asymmetry in the Chest

Poland Syndrome

In the event of congenital asymmetry of the
breast shape Poland Syndrome can be suspected.

img

POLAND SYNDROME?

It is a phenomenon in which development disorder manifests congenitally only in one side of the thorax.
It is characterized by manifestation of such disorder only in one of the breasts with manifestation in both breasts highly rare.
Prevalence rate is estimated at 1 out of every 10,000 ~ 100,000 people.

Poland Syndrome cause

img <Chest X-ray of patient with Poland Syndrome>
  • 01 Although the causes are unknown for post of the patients since they do not have past history, family-oriented pattern of same symptoms manifested in both the parents and children and siblings of the parent with no history of this disorder being inflicted with this disorder, although highly rarely, has been reported.
  • 02 Hypothesis that it occurs due to development disorder of particular artery or other physical factors and, as the result, there is manifestation of disorder in blood flow or reduction in blood supply, thereby inducing damages in the early stage of fetus was presented.

Poland Syndrome Symptom

  • img

    POINT 01

    There is not only absence of pectoralis minor muscle but also absence of sternum of pectoralis major muscle in most cases.

  • img

    POINT 02

    There could be absence of one side of muscles such as latissimus dorsi muscle on the back or absence of anterior serratus muscle.

  • img

    POINT 03

    Nipple or areola could be absent or less developed, and there could be no armpit hair.

  • img

    POINT 04

    In the case of women, there could be missing or less developed breast on one side and lack of development of tissues below the breast.

Surgery method for Poland Syndrome

Similar to breast reconstruction, it is proceeded in the method of inserting implant after having extended the tissues by inserting tissue expander into the breast.
(It is also possible to insert implant directly without having to insert tissue expander.)
  • img

    Breast tissues are sufficient distended by injecting saline solution for 2~3 months after having inserted tissue expander.

  • img

    Once the tissue is distended sufficiently, pull out the tissue expander and replace it with implant.

  • img

    Following the breast reconstruction, reconstruct the nipple and areola once the breast is normally formed and shaped.

Since it is important to achieve the symmetry of the asymmetric breast at the time of surgery for Poland Syndrome, it is necessary to accurately diagnose the breast conditions of the patient and consider the symmetry of both sides by performing breast augmentation or mastopexy for the opposite breast.

    Intercostal nerve block to breast surgery

    Intercostal nerve is a sensory nerve that conveys pain in thorax to cerebrum,
    and it is possible to reduce pain by blocking it in advance before pain is
    conveyed to the brain by performing intercostal nerve block prior to the surgery.

    Bloodless breast surgery

    It is possible to prevent pain and side effects that can occur due to
    hemorrhage in advance by performing preventive
    hemostasis in area of risk of hemorrhage.
