Treatment Definition: Pectus excavatum is the descriptive term for an abnormal formation of the rib cage, in which the distance from the breastbone (sternum) to the backbone (vertebrae) is decreased, giving the chest a caved-in or sunken appearance. Considerations: Pectus excavatum is a congenital abnormality that can be mild or severe. The child typically has a depression in the center of the chest over the sternum, and this may appear quite deep. It is caused by excessive growth of the costosternal cartilage (the connective tissue joining the ribs to the breastbone), which causes an inward deformity of the sternum.

Extractions: Description: There are various surgical approaches for treating this condition. In the most commonly used approach, while the child is deep asleep and pain-free (using general anesthesia), an incision is made over the sternum. The deformed cartilages are removed and the rib lining is left in place to allow the cartilages to regrow. An incision is made in the sternum and it is repositioned. A rib or metal strut may be used to stabilize the sternum in normal position until healing occurs in 3 to 6 months. A temporary chest tube may be placed to reexpand the lung if the lining of the lung is entered. Metal struts are removed 6 months later through a small skin incision under the arm. This procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis. Most repairs are done between 18 months and 5 years of age, although there has been debate about the best age for the procedure.

Extractions: Pectus Deformity ... Sign our Guestbook Even with severe deformities, the heart and lungs have normal growth and development. However it is documented that pectus deformities affect heart and lung function (Haller and Loughlin, 2000, Fonkalsord and Bustorff-Silva, 1999). In pectus excavatum, it is believed that the heart is displaced to the left side of the chest, and there is a restriction of movement of the heart and lungs. Patients complain of a decrease in stamina and endurance during strenuous exercise (67%), frequent respiratory infections (32%), chest pain (8%) and asthma (7%) (Fonkalsord EW et al, 2000). However recognition of these symptoms remains controversial amongst physicians as the evidence that exists does not reliably and consistently demonstrate physiological limitations. Whilst the physiological effects of pectus deformities remains debatable, the psychological difficulties facing patients are evident and yet there is sparse published information regarding these. Some patients are able to accept and live happily with the shape of their chest; this is an important point as health care professionals frequently assume a person with a physical disfigurement has a negative image of himself (Anderson, 1982). However many patients with pectus deformities are affected with a negative self-image and low self-confidence. 'An unwillingness to be seen without a shirt while swimming and participating in sports or social activities,' is the most frequently quoted complaint. In fact living with a pectus deformity affects all areas of life (Table 1).

http://www.unc.edu/news/archives/feb99/funnel.htm

Extractions: UNC-CH School of Medicine CHAPEL HILL In a medical first for North Carolina, pediatric surgeons at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have corrected a common chest-wall deformity called "funnel chest" by using a simpler, new operation. An 18-year-old male patient at UNC Hospitals has undergone improved treatment for pectus excavatum, a condition that occurs roughly once in every 2,000 U.S. births. Pectus excavatum displaces the sternum, or breastbone, rearward and leaves a deep groove in the chest, making it appear caved in. Stooped shoulders and poor posture exaggerate the effect, which carries both a physiological and a psychological burden, says Dr. Don K. Nakayama, professor and chief of pediatric surgery at the UNC-CH School of Medicine "The physiologic effect is that the chest doesn’t expand normally," he said. "While the children are able to breathe and measure normal in pulmonary function studies, most complain of easy fatigability and shortness of breath. In gym class, these may be the kids toward the back when they’re running around the track. And during summer, they’re the kids with T-shirts on when they go swimming." Nakayama said children commonly become self-conscious about the appearance of their chest.

Nakayama also points out that children commonly become self-conscious about the appearance of their chest. "All you have to do is look at newsstand magazine racks and you'll see how important chest appearance is to boys and girls. So this condition is very discomfiting, particularly when the child reaches adolescence. They become very self-conscious."

We found that 12.2 +/- 3.7 yrs postoperatively (i.e. at the age of 23.3 +/- 5.4 yrs) the vital capacity was decreased from 89 +/- 10% predicted (pred) preoperatively to 64 +/- 6% pred (p less than 0.001) and forced expiratory volume in one second from 88 +/- 17 to 66 +/- 11% pred (p less than 0.001). At total lung capacity (TLC; 69 +/- 5% pred) we found an obvious reduction in transpulmonary pressure (59 +/- 23% pred) and in transdiaphragmatic pressure (30 +/- 17 cmH2O) postoperatively. This indicated an extrapulmonary cause of the restrictive defect, attributable to abnormal chest wall mechanics secondary to the extensive surgery on the sternum and parasternal zones.

This study proposes to investigate the status of patients in later life in relation to whether operation should be suggested in childhood. The study is based upon an analysis of a questionnaire as to the fate of adult patients with untreated funnel chest submitted to a group of physicians and surgeons with wide experience in diseases of the chest.
