  1. PectusExcavatum Guide - Funnel Chest Guide

  2. Pectus Excavatum Overview • With this deformity, several ribs and the sternum (breast plate) grow abnormally, producing a caved-in or sunken appearance in the chest. The chest curves inward rather than outward. • In severe cases, the chest has a deep dent and appears scooped out. • Pectusexcavatum, sometimes referred to as funnel chest: • Is often apparent at birth, but may not develop or worsen until puberty • Occurs more often in males than females.

  3. Causes of Pectus Excavatum Doctors don’t have a clear understanding about the causes of pectusexcavatum. The condition involves overgrowth of the rib cartilage at the junction with the breastbone — also called the costochondral region — and seems to have a hereditary component. About 40 percent of those with pectusexcavatum have at least one family member with the defect. Most cases of the birth defect do not have other conditions associated with them, but some disorders (scoliosis, rickets, and Marfan syndrome) include the sunken chest characteristic seen in pectusexcavatum.

  4. Pectus Excavatum Symptoms • Most people do not experience symptoms with pectusexcavatum, causing some to consider it only a cosmetic deformity. Depending on severity, pectusexcavatum can cause compression of the heart and lungs, impairing cardiac and respiratory functions. • Symptoms of PectusExcavatum • Some symptoms of this congenital chest wall defect include: • Shortness of breath • Fatigue • Chest pain • Tachycardia (abnormally rapid heart rate) • Decreased tolerance to physical exercise

  5. Diagnosing Pectus Excavatum • A primary care doctor, along with a thoracic surgeon and pulmonology specialist, will conduct a complete physical and order a comprehensive panel of blood tests to confirm a diagnosis of pectusexcavatum. • Depending on the severity of the defect and the results of the exams and blood work, the medical team may order a number of other tests, such as: • Echocardiogram (image of the heart) • Electrocardiogram (EKG) • Computerized tomography (CT) scan of the chest • MRI of the chest • X-ray of the chest • Genetic testing • Enzyme assays • Metabolic studies • Pulmonary (lung) function tests
