Poland sendromu, pektoral kas yokluðu, farklý göðüs deformiteleri ve el anomalileri ile karakterize konjenital bir anomalidir. Zaman içinde sendrom için birçok yeni özellik tanýmlanmýþtýr. Pektoral kaslar dýþýnda birçok kasýn etkilendiði bildirilmesine karþýn biceps braki kasýnýn etkilendiði bildirilmemiþtir. Poland sendromunun en çok kabul edilen patogenezi gestasyonel dönemde subklavyen arterde veya dallarýnda geçici kan akýmýnýn kesilmesidir. Biceps braki kasýnýn arteri de subklavian arterin bir dalýdýr. Sað taraflý Poland sendromlu ve ipsilateral biseps braki kasýnýn kýsa baþýnýn hipoplazisi bulunan hastamýzý sunmaktayýz. Biseps braki kasýnýn anomalilerinin Poland sendro-munun bir komponenti olabileceðini düþünmekteyiz.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Poland Sendromu, biseps braki kasý, brakisindaktili.

Poland's syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by absence of the pectoral muscles, different chest deformities, and hand anomalies. Over time, many new features of the syndrome have been described. Although it has been reported that many muscles, in addition to the pectoral muscles, might have been affected in patients with Poland’s syndrome, the biceps brachii muscle has never been reported to be affected. The most accepted pathogenesis of Poland's syndrome is a temporary interruption of blood flow of the subclavian artery or its branches in the gestational period. The artery of the biceps brachii muscle is a branch of the subclavian artery. Herein, we present a patient with right-sided Poland’s syndrome and ipsilateral hypoplasia of the short head of the right biceps brachii muscle. We believe that the abnormalities of the biceps brachii muscle might be a component of Poland's syndrome.

Keywords: Poland’s syndrome, biceps brachii muscle, brachisyndactyly.
