OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence of congenital anterior chest wall deformities in 11- to 14-year-old students.
METHODS
Students participating in the study were recruited from public schools in the city of Manaus, Brazil. The statistically significant sample (precision, 1%; 95% CI) comprised
Pectus carinatum is an uncommon malformation that is often more symptomatic than the appearance suggests, and one that physicians often do not refer for surgical correction. Hospital records of 90 patients who underwent repair of pectus carinatum deformities between 1970 and 2000 were reviewed.
BACKGROUND
Although patients with pectus carinatum (PC) often experience moderate to severe symptoms, there are sparse published data about the indications for correction, the newer techniques of surgical repair, and the results. This study reviews clinical experience with new, less extensive, open
BACKGROUND
Patients with pectus carinatum (PC) frequently experience physiologic symptoms, which are often overlooked by physicians. Sparse data have been published regarding the indications for correction of PC and the newer techniques of surgical repair.
METHODS
Since 1970, 260 (89% males)
BACKGROUND
A plethora of studies have described repair of pectus deformities in children, but only few reports have described this repair in adults. The purpose of this study was to review our 30-year experience with surgical repair of pectus deformities in adults.
METHODS
A retrospective review of
Pectus carinatum or “keel chest,” like its sister condition pectus excavatum, is a congenital deformation of the anterior chest wall. The condition presents with an outward protrusion of the sternum or rib cage.[1] When the sternal manubrium is prominent, the deformity is often called “pigeon
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the medium-term results of 77 surgical corrections in patients with chest wall deformities, 53 (68.8%) with pectus excavatum and 24 with pectus carinatum, operated upon from 1985 to 1994.
METHODS
The mean age of the patients was 14.7 years (4-39 years) and 77% were younger than
We report supravalvular aortic stenosis in a 12 year old patient who presented with mental retardation, malformed teeth, broad lower lips, pectus carinatum, clinodactyly, kyphoscoliosis with symptoms of shortness of breath. On examination presence of better volume pulse in right radial artery with
BACKGROUND
Severe pectus excavatum (PE) is common, often causing physiologic impairment. Inconsistent results have been reported using a variety of open surgical techniques with extensive subperiosteal costal cartilage resection.
METHODS
Since 1969, 912 (80% men) symptomatic PE patients (mean
