Straight back syndrome is a rare condition usually associated with mitral valve prolapse and "pseudo-heart disease" caused by a very narrow anterior-posterior chest due to the loss of the normal dorsal curvature of the thoracic spine. More rarely, the narrowed upper chest may compress the trachea causing extrinsic tracheal obstruction. If severe enough, this requires operative repair by effectively opening up the upper chest by a variety of techniques to allow the trachea enough room to avoid compression.
直背综合征是一种罕见病症，通常与二尖瓣脱垂及“假性心脏病”相关，后者是由于胸椎正常后凸消失导致胸廓前后径非常狭窄所致。更罕见的是，变窄的上胸部可能压迫气管，导致气管外源性梗阻。如果病情足够严重，则需要通过多种技术有效打开上胸部，为气管留出足够空间以避免压迫，从而进行手术修复。
