Congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle is a very rare congenital anomaly characterized by a failure of fusion of the medial and lateral ossification centers of the clavicle.
The malformed clavicle appears to be interrupted in its central portion and the bone divided into two portions, one lateral and the other medial.
