Chest wall deformities are congenital disorders characterized by abnormal development and appearance of the thoracic wall. The most common form is the pectus excavatum deformity, known as shoemaker's chest. Pectus carinatum, known as pigeon chest, is the second most common deformity. In general, most patients are asymptomatic, but cardiopulmonary problems may accompany the disease. The indication for treatment is mostly cosmetic. Treating patients before they reach adulthood increases the chance of success. Surgical treatment can be open or minimally invasive.
胸壁畸形是一种先天性疾病,其特征是胸壁发育异常和外观异常。最常见的形式是漏斗胸畸形,即所谓的鞋匠胸。鸡胸,即所谓的鸽胸,是第二常见的畸形。一般来说,大多数患者没有症状,但该疾病可能伴有心肺问题。治疗的指征主要是出于美观考虑。在患者成年之前进行治疗可提高成功率。手术治疗可以是开放式的或微创的。
