Pectus excavatum (PE), the most common skeletal anomaly of chest wall, sometimes requires a surgical correction but recurrent PE is not uncommon. PE usually has a benign course; however, this chest deformity may be associated with symptomatic tachyarrhythmias due to mechanical compression. We report a case of a patient with recurrent PE after surgical correction presenting with palpitation and electrocardiogram (ECG) showing ST-segment elevation on the right precordial leads, which could be mistaken for a Brugada syndrome (BrS).
漏斗胸(PE)是胸壁最常见的骨骼异常,有时需要手术矫正,但复发性PE并不少见。PE通常病程良性;然而,这种胸部畸形可能因机械压迫而伴有有症状的快速性心律失常。我们报告一例患者,其在手术矫正后出现复发性PE,伴有心悸,心电图(ECG)显示右胸前导联ST段抬高,这可能被误诊为Brugada综合征(BrS)。
