This article presents the case of a child with an unusual type of cleft sternum characterized by fusion superiorly between the clavicles and inferiorly at the xiphoid with wide intervening separation. The defect was successfully corrected at age 17 months by surgical closure of the cleft primarily, which had not been achieved previously in a patient at this late age.
