Sternal cleft – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1308914573

Sternal clefts are rare malformations that result from a sternal fusion defect and are located at any level of the sternum. Sternal clefts are usually isolated, but have also been reported in association with facial haemangioma, webbed neck, malformations of the central nervous system and eye coloboma or may represent a part of the Cantrell pentalogy.
