'. . . although Alfred Poland discovered Poland Syndrome, the condition was not named after him for well over a century.'Poland Syndrome is a congenital condition that may affect as many as one in twenty thousand people. In this book Simon Webb, who has PS himself, tells the intriguing tale of how the syndrome was discovered by a teenage medical student in 1840. Simon's book also includes previously unpublished information about George Elt, a native of the English city of Worcester, whose PS led to Alfred Poland's ground-breaking discovery.
