Extractions: WHAT IS PECTUS EXCAVATUM CARINATUM Pectus deformities occur in 1-8: 1000 population and are more frequent in boys than girls. In pectus excavatum (funnel chest) the sternum (breastbone) is depressed in a concave shape and in pectus carinatum (pigeon chest) the sternum is protruded in a convex shape. There may be asymmetry of the chest and the sternum may be rotated. The deformity varies in severity, ranging from a mild indentation/protrusion to severe, for example a patient with a severe pectus excavatum may have only a few centimetres between his/her sternum and vertebral column. Most patients have a slim chest, a slouching posture and younger children commonly have potbellies. What causes pectus excavatum / carinatum? The deformity is thought to be caused by excessive growth of the costal cartilages although the reason for this is unknown. This overgrowth causes the ribs and cartilages to 'buckle' and pushes the sternum either inwards or outwards. Musculoskeletal abnormalities that are associated with pectus deformities are scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), Marfan's syndrome (an inheritable disorder of the connective tissue) and Poland's syndrome. Does the deformity become better/worse with age?

Normal anatomy. pectus excavatum is a deformity of the front of the chest wallwith depression of the breastbone (sternum) and rib (costal) cartilages.
http://www.enh.org/surgery/100035.asp

Extractions: Procedure While the child is deep asleep and pain-free (using general anesthesia), an incision is made over the breastbone (sternum). The deformed cartilage are removed and the rib lining is left in place to allow re-growth of the cartilage. An incision is made in the sternum and it is repositioned. A rib or metal strut may be used to stabilize the sternum in normal position until healing occurs in 3 to 6 months. A chest tube may be placed to re-expand the lung if the lining of the lung is entered. Metal struts are removed 6 months later through a small skin incision under the arm. This procedure is usually done as an outpatient.

Y Definition: The descriptive term for an abnormal formation of the rib cage where the distance from the breastbone (sternum) to the backbone (vertebrae) is decreased, resulting in a caved-in or sunken chest appearance. Considerations: Pectus excavatum is a congenital abnormality that can be mild or fairly marked. The child typically has a depression in the center of the chest over the sternum, and this may appear quite deep. It is caused by excessive growth of the costosternal cartilage (the connective tissue joining the ribs to the breastbone), with resulting inward deformity of the sternum.

Extractions: Pectus Excavatum and Carinatum What are pectus deformities? Approximately one in every 600 persons have an abnormal overgrowth of the lower costal cartilages between the ribs and sternum which pushes the sternum inward (excavatum) (85%) or outward (carinatum) (15%). Persons with excavatum also often have a narrow chest. The scar seen on the right is what is used with an open approach to the defect. What problems do pectus deformities cause? In addition to the unattractive appearance, pectus excavatum usually displaces the heart into the left chest and limits full lung expansion. Importantly, pectus deformities, in the vast majority of cases, cause no physical or medical problem. However, an occasional child may experience considerable decrease in stamina and endurance during exercise, with shortness of breath. Occasionally, a child may experience pain or discomfort in the lower chest. Will the pectus deformity improve with time? Pectus deformities usually become more severe during adolescent growth years and remain the same after age 18 years throughout life. Body building exercises will not alter the ribs and cartilage of the chest wall. Pectus deformity repair Conventional Approach: The surgical technique for repair has improved greatly during the past 25 years. The abnormal three to five cartilages on each side of the lower chest are removed while carefully preserving the covering periosteum. The sternum is elevated to the desired position and is supported by a thin metal bar that is attached to a rib on each side. The periosteum will form new cartilage and become solid in the normal position over a several weeks. The hospital stay averages 3 days. Blood transfusions are very rarely necessary. Most patients return to school or work within 2 weeks. Heavy physical activity is limited for 2 to 3 months. The sternal bar is removed on an out-patient basis in 6 months. Thereafter, the patient may participate in vigorous physical activities, including body contact sports. This conventional approach has excellent cosmetic results and a very good long-term follow up shows a sustained repair in most children.

DeWire, Sr., MD, FACS Specializing in Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Body Contouring Cleavage Determinants in Breast Augmentation Cleavage Determination in Breast Augmentation: Cleavage depth and width attainable after implant breast augmentation is not equal for every patient, and is greatly dependent on many factors, most of which are predictable before breast augmentation is performed. These factors are greatly dependent on existing chestwall shape and breastbone prominence, as well as the amount of overall body fat, and the extent of native fatty tissues that overlie the sternum, and soften the contour transition from sternum onto the breasts. Other key factors are the actual starting separation of the breasts, and the position of the nipples, as well as the orientation of the breasts, regarding their degree of divergence from a line drawn straight forward from the breast bone. These anatomical factors vary widely from patient to patient. Several examples are noted below. Be sure to view both pages, as the volume of data is too large to present on a single page.

http://www.medhelp.org/forums/cardio/messages/33764a.html

Extractions: I am a 32yr old female and was recently told by my GP that I have a loud cardiac murmer. After chest XRays it was discovered I have pectus excavatum and after an echocardiogram I was told that there is nothing wrong with my heart or any valves and that is a flow murmer. My GP suspects that the murmer is caused by the pectus excavatum. She has said that physically there is nothing wrong with me. My husband and I would like to have children - she has said that there is no risk involved in my having children as there is nothing wrong with my heart. I am worried about this - should I try and see a cardiologist or at least get a second opinion?
