Poland–Möbius syndrome in infancy: Clinical and imaging findings – A case report

Poland syndrome is a congenital chest wall anomaly involving underdevelopment of the pectoral muscles. Möbius syndrome is a rare neurological disorder caused by hypoplasia or aplasia of the sixth and seventh cranial nerves. Their simultaneous occurrence, known as Poland–Möbius syndrome, is extremely rare. We present the case of a 5-month-old male infant with clinical and radiological features consistent with this combined syndrome. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and the role of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging, especially 3D fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition sequence, for comprehensive cranial nerve evaluation in patients with anterior chest wall musculoskeletal anomalies.
