Pectus carinatum may rarely be associated with kyphosis. However, the correlation between both conditions is not well reported. Therefore, there are no reports for combined correction of both deformities in the same patient. Moreover, studies estimating the kyphosis prevalence in patients with pectus carinatum are lacking. To our knowledge, this is the first paper to present such a case. We report an 18-year-old boy with both pectus carinatum and kyphosis that were surgically corrected in a combined procedure. The indication of surgery is cosmetic, and the postoperative recovery included pneumothorax but was otherwise uneventful and satisfactory.
鸡胸畸形可能很少与脊柱后凸相关。然而，这两种情况之间的相关性并没有很好地报道。因此，没有报告在同一患者中同时矫正这两种畸形。此外，缺乏研究估计鸡胸畸形患者中脊柱后凸的患病率。据我们所知，这是第一篇报道此类病例的论文。我们报告了一例 18 岁男孩，他同时患有鸡胸畸形和脊柱后凸，在一次联合手术中得到了矫正。手术的指征是美容，术后恢复包括气胸，但无其他意外和满意。
