儿科奇闻。III：半侧胸骨。

S Afr Med J. 1980 Apr 5;57(14):553-4.

Paediatricians know of the condition of pectus excavatum in the growing child and may be acquainted with other anomalies of the sternum, such as forked and perforate xiphisterna and perforations higher up the sternum. The sternal malformation depicted in this case report, although not unusual in appearance, has a most rare origin.

儿科医生了解成长中儿童的漏斗胸情况，并且可能熟知胸骨的其他异常情况，比如剑突分叉和穿孔以及胸骨更高位置的穿孔。本病例报告中所描述的胸骨畸形，尽管外观上并不罕见，但其起源却极为罕见。
