Abstract
Congenital muscular deformation is a category into which fall all of the developmental structural abnormalities of the musculoskeletal system. These deformations include absent, hypoplastic, enlarged, accessory, duplicated, and anomalous muscles found incidentally, or associated with congenital limb differences. The spectrum of these conditions includes isolated, clinically evident diagnoses, such as congenital absence of the sternal head of the pectoralis muscle, known as Poland syndrome (Figure 29.1),1,2 or may involve complicated, atypical limb anomalies, such as the phocomelic or intercalary deficiencies.
