Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Chest wall deformity (CWD) is a structural abnormality reported in 0.4% of the general adult population.1 It can be acquired or congenital. Acquired CWD can occur due to chest surgery, radiotherapy, or hernia surgery,2 unlike congenital CWD that is diagnosed at birth.3 The most common types of CWD are pectus excavatum (88%, breastbone pushes inward), pectus carinatum (9%, breastbone and ribs protrude), and thoracic asymmetry.3 Scoliosis is overrepresented in patients with CWD (20%) compared with the general population (2%-4%).
