Sternoclavicular dislocations are a rare but important condition that can occur after direct or indirect trauma. Most cases involve anterior dislocations, which are less serious than posterior dislocations, the latter representing a significant risk due to their proximity to vital vascular and nervous structures. The diagnosis is based on clinical findings and confirmation by radiological images. Evaluation includes a detailed history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as contrast enhanced CT scan. Treatment varies from conservative methods to surgical interventions, depending on the severity of the injury and the presence of complications. We present a case of posterior sternoclavicular dislocation with mediastinal involvement successfully treated surgically, highlighting the importance of an accurate diagnosis and timely management to avoid long-term complications.
