Scots baby born with missing chest muscle and webbed hand diagnosed with rare syndrome
A Scots mum fears for her son's future after he was born with a rare condition which has left him with a missing chest muscle and a webbed hand.
It is believed that 1 in 30,000 people in the UK suffer with the condition, however, many cases go undiagnosed due to its rarity. "His chest was then starting to sink. I took all of the measurements of his hand with me to the GP. We were referred back to plastics in August 2022 and they confirmed he had Poland Syndrome."
"We have to be careful when he is crawling because his left shoulder gives way. He has no muscle so sometimes when he is using it he can fall over. But we don't know how it will affect him growing up, we don't know how badly his chest will sink."
