Presentation
Congenital pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle is a rare condition, which typically presents as an isolated anatomical variant. Clinical presentation Usually presents as a midclavicular swelling in the neonate or young child 1. [radiopaedia.org]
It usually presents as a swelling in the clavicular region at birth or soon after birth. [ijoonline.com]
In congenital pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle, there are no other skeletal abnormalities present, a feature that distinguishes it from cleidocranial dysostosis. [boneandspine.com]
Presentation A painless mass or swelling over the clavicle is the usual presenting concern. The patient has no history of trauma, and shoulder and arm movement are normal. A family history of similar deformities is rare. [thehealthscience.com]

The commonly described skeletal manifestations are clavicular and pelvic ring abnormalities in development, frontal bossing, wide fontanelles, dental anomalies, and epiphyseal disorders of the hands and feet. [9] A birth fracture is usually associated [jotr.in]
Treatment
Treatment of Congenital Pseudoarthrosis Of Clavicle No conservative treatment achieves the union and not all the cases require surgical treatment. [boneandspine.com]
Management and treatment No treatment is required when functional capacity is satisfactory. Surgery (excision of the pseudarthrosis, internal fixation and bone grafting) is indicated to correct shoulder deformities interfering with function. [orpha.net]
Make informed clinical choices for each patient, from diagnosis and treatment selection through post-treatment strategies and management of complications, with new evidence-based criteria throughout. [books.google.com]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology Congenital pseudoarthrosis of the mid portion of the clavicle occurs when an environmental insult or anatomic or mechanical event disrupts diaphyseal membranous ossification. [thehealthscience.com]
Pathophysiology The clavicle is the first bone to undergo membranous ossification. It connects the sternum to the acromion and provides support for shoulder function. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Most authors have proposed an abnormal coalescence of the two clavicle ossification centers as the underlying pathophysiology for CPC [2-4]. Thus, none of the currently known theories can completely reveal the underlying cause of CPC. [journals.eco-vector.com]
Appropriate interpretation will improve understanding of the natural history and pathophysiology of neurofibromatosis type 1. [nature.com]
