Özet
We report a rare case of upper sternal cleft in a 20-year-old adult with associated unusual symptoms such as dysphagia, restricted lingual movements and a voice problem. The strap muscles causing unusual symptoms were divided from their abnormal insertion site on the lower edge of the cleft. Direct complete closure without compromising the cardiac function was achieved in this patient.
