ABSTRACT

El síndrome de Poland constituye una malformacion que asocia diversos grados de anomalia toracica y a nivel del miembro superior, con una incidencia de 1 cada 30000 nacidos vivos. Esta patologia geenra ausencia de la glandula mamaria y del musculo pectroral mayor como malformacion mas frecuente. Lo cual produce una asimetria a nivel de torax con perdida de la armonia la cual lleva a una alteracion tanto fisica como psicologica a nivel de la paciente. Por esto es necesario resolver esta patologia con la menor morbilidad posible. El planteo de generar la menor morbilidad nos llevo a realizar una tecnica por abordaje unico sub axilar, a traves del cual se diseca el musculo dorsal ancho y se transpone de forma anterior, obteniendo una sola incision, la cual se mantiene oculta debajo del miembro superior adducido. Produciendo menor tiempo operatorio, menor tiempo de internacion, disminuyendo el número de incsiones y logrando una adecuada fijacion anterior del musculo dorsal ancho.


Poland's syndrome is a malformation associated with varying degrees of thoracic and upper limb abnormality, with an incidence of 1 in 30,000 live births. This pathology generates the absence of the mammary gland and the major pectoral muscle as the most frequent malformation. Which produces an asymmetry at the chest level with loss of harmony which leads to both physical and psychological alteration at the level of the patient. For this reason, it is necessary to resolve this pathology with the least possible morbidity. The proposal to generate the least morbidity led us to perform a single sub axillary approach technique, through which the latissimus dorsi muscle is dissected and transposed anteriorly, obtaining a single incision, which is kept hidden under the upper limb adduced. Producing less operative time, shorter hospitalization time, reducing the number of incisions and achieving an adequate anterior fixation of the latissimus dorsi muscle.


A síndrome de Poland é uma malformação associada a vários graus de anomalia torácica e de membros superiores, com uma incidência de 1 em 30.000 nascidos vivos. Essa patologia gera a ausência da glândula mamária e do músculo pectoral principal como a malformação mais frequente. O que produz uma assimetria ao nível do peito com perda de harmonia que conduz a alterações físicas e psicológicas ao nível do paciente. Por isso, é necessário resolver essa patologia com a menor morbidade possível. A proposta de gerar o mínimo de morbidade nos levou a realizar uma única técnica de abordagem subaxilar, por meio da qual o músculo grande dorsal é dissecado e transposto anteriormente, obtendo-se uma única incisão, que é mantida escondida sob o membro superior. aduzido. Produzindo menos tempo operatório, menor tempo de internação, reduzindo o número de incisões e conseguindo uma fixação anterior adequada do músculo grande dorsal.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To compare thoracic musculoskeletal static alterations in adolescents born prematurely with those born at term and investigate neonatal and post-neonatal variables associated with thoracic alterations. METHOD: This is a cross-sectional study with 57 adolescents aged 10-15 years born prematurely and 57 adolescents born at term paired by gender and age. Photographs of the head and thorax in the front, back, and right side views were studied using a computer program. The two groups were compared in regards to: elevation of clavicles, elevation of shoulders, protrusion of the head, and anteroposterior and mediolateral thoracic length. Factor associated with thoracic disorders were evaluated by linear regression analysis. RESULTS: The Preterm group had mean gestational age of 32.0±2.8 weeks and the birth weight was 1462±338 and 3342±430 g for the Preterm and Term adolescents, respectively. Preterm adolescents had higher elevation of the left shoulder (22.7±5.4o vs. 20.6±5.3o;sim, p=0.038) and the right shoulder (22.2±4.4o vs. 18.5±5.7o; p<0.001). Smaller protrusion of the head (27.8±6.1o vs. 32.4±7.9o; p=0.008), mediolateral thoracic length (22.9±2.3 cm vs. 25.1±3.1 cm; p<0.001) and anteroposterior thoracic length (19.7±2.2 cm vs. 21.1±3.4 cm; p<0.001) were found in preterm adolescents. By multiple regression analysis, factors associated with higher shoulder elevation were birth weight <1500 g (p<0.001) and mechanical ventilation during neonatal period >5 days (p=0.009). CONCLUSION: Adolescents born prematurely presented greater thoracic musculoskeletal static alterations compared to those born at term. Factors associated with these alterations were: very low birth weight and longer duration of mechanical ventilation in the neonatal unit. .

ABSTRACT

The sternalis muscle’s presence is an uncommon anatomic variation of the anterior chest wall’s musculature. It is insufficiently mentioned by the most of anatomical textbooks, although it has been well described by the literature. The study of this anatomic variation is extremely relevant, principally for the interpretation of image’s exams that approach this region. For this study’s achievement, 102 cadavers were dissected (97 of the male sex and 5 of the female sex). The study of the sternalis muscle avoids the expenses with exams and the indication of aggressive treatments in a wrong way.

ABSTRACT

La fibromatosis agresiva es una lesión benigna, que comprende el 0,3% de todos los tumores sólidos. A pesar que la pared torácica es un lugar común, este tipo de tumor raramente se ha asociado con los implantes o tejido mamarios. Pocos casos se han descrito en conjunción con un implante de seno. Se presenta el caso de una paciente femenina de 27 años, quien le aparece esta patología dos años después de la colocación de implante mamario


The aggressive fibromatoses is a benign lesion, is not frequent, represent the 0.3% of the all solid tumors. The chest wall was considered a common place for tumors, but this type is rarely associated with the mammary implants. There are few cases reported in conjunction with a mammary implant. We presented a rare clinical case of a feminine patient of 27 years old, to whom apparition of this pathology two years after the collocation of mammary implant

ABSTRACT

A síndrome de Poland é descrita como ausência do músculo peitoral maior, associada a deformidade das mãos, como sindactilias variáveis, ausência de falanges médias, fusão dos ossos do carpo ou encurtamento do antebraço. Pode haver variação na extensão do comprometimento torácico, desde o sunken chest, termo utilizado para as depressões torácicas associadas a displasia esquelética em geral, até a ausência das porções anteriores das costelas ou cartilagens costais. Em geral, o complexo areolopapilar é posicionado mais superiormente nos homens e nas mulheres a mama é hipoplásica. É relatado o caso de paciente portadora de síndrome de Poland, com 32 anos de idade, que procurou nosso ambulatório de residentes com o desejo de melhorar a aparência do tórax e da mama. Foi realizada intervenção cirúrgica sete anos antes, com implante de prótese mamária de silicone, no intuito de amenizar a deformidade torácica característica. Após avaliação, optou-se pela troca da prótese. No intraoperatório, observou-se área de reabsorção osteocartilaginosa com cerca de 4 cm de diâmetro, em região de articulação costocondral. Após a cirurgia, a paciente evoluiu conforme o esperado. Foi realizada investigação ampla da deformidade encontrada e a paciente avaliada foi encaminhada ao cirurgião torácico. A reabsorção óssea regional anterior no hemitórax esquerdo pode ser um achado cirúrgico e representar diminuição da proteção cardíaca, tornando necessária maior atenção para os casos de substituição de prótese mamária, com realização de exame de imagem específico, como tomografia computadorizada, com o objetivo de minimizar o risco cirúrgico.


Poland's syndrome is described as the absence of the pectoralis major muscle associated with deformities of the hands such as variable syndactylia, absence of the middle phalanx, fusion of the carpal bones, or shortening of the forearm. There may be variations in the extent of the thoracic impairment from the absence of anterior portions of ribs or costal cartilages to "sunken chest," which is generally used to describe thoracic depressions associated with skeletal dysplasia. In general, the areolar-papillary complex is in an upper region in men, and women have hypoplastic breasts. A 32-year-old female patient with Poland's syndrome sought our outpatient service wishing to improve the appearance of her thorax and breasts. She had undergone surgical intervention 7 years earlier with implantation of a silicone breast prosthesis, aiming to minimize the characteristic thoracic deformity. After an assessment, we opted to replace the prosthesis. During the intraoperative period, an area of osteocartilaginous resorption about 4 cm in diameter was observed in a region of costochondral articulation. After the surgery, the patient progressed as expected. Extensive research was carried out on the deformity found, and the patient was referred to a thoracic surgeon. Anterior regional bone resorption in the left hemithorax can be an important surgical finding. It can also represent a decrease in cardiac protection, necessitating greater care in cases of breast prosthesis replacement and the requirement of specific imaging examinations such as CT scans in order to minimize surgical risks.

ABSTRACT

The study involved 1342 primary school students aged 7–14 years who applied to Ankara, a primary care center for general health check-up between 2006 and 2007. Forty-three students, 35 of whom had PE and 8 of whom had PC, were subjected to thorax measurement. All 43 students underwent pulmonary function tests (PFT).The prevalence rate of PC was 0.6%, and of PE, 2.6%. The thorax widths of the groups were similar (P=0.273). The thorax circumference and depth of PE group were lower than those of the controls (P<0.05). The probability rate of abnormality in PFT scores of PE group was statistically significantly higher than that of the controls (P=0.022) whereas absence of normal PFT scores the difference between PC group and the controls was not statistically significant (p=0.095). The results indicate that more than half of the individuals with pectus deformity do not have any physical complaints and do not have statistically significant differences in their PFT parameters.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Determinar a prevalência das deformidades congênitas da parede torácica anterior em escolares de 11 a 14 anos. MÉTODOS: Participaram do estudo escolares da rede estadual de ensino da cidade de Manaus (AM). Para a composição de uma amostra estatisticamente significativa, com precisão de 1 por cento e IC95 por cento, foram incluídos 1.332 escolares. A deformidade pectus foi identificada através de exame físico do tórax, e os indivíduos com esta deformidade responderam a um questionário com questões sobre hereditariedade e sintomatologia decorrente da anomalia torácica. RESULTADOS: A idade média dos participantes foi de 11,7 anos. A prevalência da deformidade pectus foi de 1,95 por cento (pectus excavatum: 1,275 por cento; pectus carinatum: 0,675 por cento). Dos 26 escolares com deformidades pectus, 17 (65,4 por cento) tinham pectus excavatum, e 18 (69,2 por cento) eram do sexo masculino. Houve associação com a escoliose em 3 casos (11,5 por cento). História familiar de pectus foi relatada por 17 escolares (65,4 por cento), e 17 (65,4 por cento) relataram dor torácica, dispneia ou palpitações. CONCLUSÕES: A prevalência das deformidades pectus encontrada neste estudo (1,95 por cento) foi inferior àquela de trabalhos em outras regiões do país (3,6-4,9 por cento), porém, superior àquela relatada na literatura (média, 1 por cento).


OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of congenital anterior chest wall deformities in 11- to 14-year-old students. METHODS: Students participating in the study were recruited from public schools in the city of Manaus, Brazil. The statistically significant sample (precision, 1 percent; 95 percent CI) comprised 1,332 students. Pectus deformities were identified by physical examination of the chest, and the individuals with one of these deformities completed a questionnaire regarding heredity and symptoms resulting from the chest abnormality. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 11.7 years. The prevalence of pectus abnormalities was 1.95 percent (pectus excavatum: 1.275 percent; pectus carinatum: 0.675 percent). Of the 26 students with a pectus deformity, 17 (65.4 percent) had pectus excavatum, and 18 (69.2 percent) were male. Concomitant scoliosis was observed in 3 cases (11.5 percent). A family history of pectus was reported by 17 students (65.4 percent), and 17 (65.4 percent) reported chest pain, dyspnea or palpitations. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the prevalence of pectus deformities (1.95 percent) was lower than that reported in other studies conducted in Brazil (3.6-4.9 percent) but was higher than that reported in the literature (mean, 1 percent).

ABSTRACT

Sternal cleft is an uncommon visually dramatic congenital anomaly of the chest wall. It is resulting of failure of the two lateral mesodermal sternal bars fusion by the eight weeks of gestation. Superior defects are the commonest forms, usually isolated. Clinical and surgical aspects of stemal cleft are presented. The advantages of early surgery in the neonatal period are developed. We report the first Tunisian case of a superior sternal cleft associated to haemangioma in a newborn boy. Scanning shows non-appearance of manubrium at the upper part of sternum. Sternal bars showing a U-shaped incomplete sternal cleft. Surgical repair consisted of reconstructing a new sternum from sternal bars and resection of haemangioma. The patient had good aesthetic and functional results. The appearance of a child with its heart bulging through its chest wall is very disturbing to parents. Early surgery is most easy and most comforting

ABSTRACT

Dentre as deformidades da parede torácica, o pectus carinatum não tem recebido o mesmo grau de interesse que o pectus excavatum, sendo sua abordagem desconhecida por grande parcela dos pneumologistas, pediatras e cirurgiões torácicos. Isto faz com que estes pacientes não sejam encaminhados para tratamento. Trata-se de deformidade com incidência de 1:1000 adolescentes, oligosintomática, mas que leva a consultas médicas por implicações de ordem estética e emocional, sendo seus portadores introvertidos, não praticantes de exercícios físicos e não freqüentadores de praias ou piscinas para não expor o tórax. O diagnóstico é clínico e visual, e detalhes são obtidos com a radiografia do tórax e a tomografia computadorizada. O tratamento é baseado em organograma bem conhecido, que resume as condutas ortopédicas e cirúrgicas. O compressor dinâmico do tórax, associado a exercícios físicos, é indicado nos adolescentes com tórax flexível no pectus carinatum inferior e pectus carinatum lateral, tendo indicação limitada no pectus carinatum superior. A indicação cirúrgica é feita pela presença da deformidade e com motivação estética, em adolescentes com tórax não flexível, em jovens, e em adultos. Dentre as técnicas relatadas, destaca-se a esternocondroplastia modificada, pelos excelentes resultados estéticos alcançados.


Among the deformities of the thoracic wall,pectus carinatum has not received the same attention as has pectus excavatum. Few pulmonologists, pediatricians, and thoracic surgeons are aware of the approaches to treating this condition. As a consequence, patients with pectus carinatum are not referred for treatment. This deformity, with an incidence of 1:1000 teenagers, is oligosymptomatic. However, for aesthetic and emotional reasons, it accounts for a large number of medical appointments. Such patients are introverted and do not engage in physical activities, since they are unwilling to expose their chest, which also discourages them from going to the beach or to swimming pools. The diagnosis is clinical and visual, and details are obtained through chest X-rays and computed tomography. The treatment is based on a well-known organogram that summarizes orthopedic and surgical procedures. Dynamic compression, combined with physical exercises, is indicated for teenagers with flexible thorax in inferior and lateral pectus carinatum, with limited indication for those with superior pectus carinatum. For individuals of any age with rigid thorax, surgery is indicated for aesthetic reasons. Among the techniques described, the modified sternum chondroplasty stands out due to the excellent aesthetic results achieved.

ABSTRACT

A ectopia cardíaca é uma má formação congênita rara, normalmente associada a outras más formações intracardíacas. Uma criança do sexo feminino com dois dias de vida, nascida a termo de uma primeira gestação sem intercorrências (G1P1A0), por parto cesariano, foi admitida na Santa Casa de Montes Claros, em Minas Gerais, apresentando ectopia cardíaca na forma torácica. O estudo ecocardiográfico transtorácico não evidenciou cardiopatia congênita associada. A paciente foi submetida a tratamento cirúrgico, utilizando enxerto de costela. Apresentou boa evolução, recebendo alta hospitalar no vigésimo dia de pós-operatório.


Ectopia cordis is a rare congenital malformation, which is commonly associated with other intracardiac defects. A two-day-old full-term baby girl was admitted to Santa Casa de Montes Claros Hospital, with thoracic ectopia cordis. A transthoracic echocardiographic study did not identify any associated congenital heart diseases. The infant underwent surgical treatment using a rib graft to create a neo-sternum. She was discharged after a good evolution on the 20th postoperative day.

ABSTRACT

Pectus excavatum (PEX) é uma depressão esternal em relação às cartilagens costais. Problemas psicológicos e intolerância ao exercício são alterações clínicas freqüentemente detectadas. A correão cirúrgica do PEX ganhou um novo momento desde a introdução da nova técnica minimamente invasivade Nuss. O objetivo deste estudo é comparar os resultados das técnicas operatórias de Robicsek (convencional) e minimamente invasiva (Nuss). Dois grupos de pacientes foram estudados em nosso Serviço: a) 40 pacientes com tórax normal; 40 pacientes com PEX. Esse último grupo foi operado pela técnica de Robicsek (20 pacientes) ou de Nuss (20 pacientes). Ambas as técnicas conseguiram resultados pós-operatórios satisfatórios, mas o índice de Haller e medidas clínicas sugerem que resultados são diferentes. Nuss pode obter melhor forma torácica / Pectus excavatum (PEX) is a depression of the sternum in relation to the costal cartilages. Psychological disorders and exercise intolerance are current clinical abnormalities detectables. Surgical correction of PEX has gained a new momentum since the introduction of the new minimally invasive repair by Nuss. The present study aims to compare the results of Robicsek (conventional) versus Nuss (minimally invasive) technique. Two groups of patients were studied at our Service: a) 40 patients with normal thoracic box configuration; b) 40 patients with PEX. The latter were operated according to the Robicsek (20 pacients) or Nuss technique (20 patients). Both techniques manage to successful postoperative results, but Haller index and clinical measures suggest that results are significant differents. Nuss technique may obtain the best thoracic shape...

ABSTRACT

The most common congenital chest wall deformities are pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum. Various techniques have been described for correction of pectus deformities. We describe our experience with surgical repair of pectus deformity [PD] in adults, including our new technique, which uses a resorbable plaque for fixation of the sternum. We reviewed the records of 317 patients who underwent surgical correction of PD between October 1997 and December 2005. All of the patients were male and the median age was 21.3 years [range, 16-32 years]. Of 317 patients, the type of deformity was a pectus excavatum in 230 patients and a pectus carinatum in 87 of the patients. Four different operative techniques were used.There were no intraoperative deaths or major perioperative morbidity. The complications rate was 17%. Overall mean hospital stay was 14.25 days. In 208 patients who underwent a mid-term outpatient follow up [mean, 8 months], there was no recurrence. Patient satisfaction was excellent in 234 patients, good in 79 patients and fair in 4 patients. The majority of patients with pectus deformity had been operated on during childhood; therefore there is limited published infor_mation about the correction of pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum deformities in adults. The most important point in pectus correction is to achieve proper and long-term stability of the sternum following osteotomy. Various techniques can be used for this purpose

ABSTRACT

La hendidura esternal es una malformación congénita de la pared torácica que se origina en una falla embrionaria de la fusión de las valvas esternales en la línea media. El defecto debe ser reparado precozmente al nacer, para reestablecer la protección ósea de las estructuras del mediastino, prevenir el movimiento paradojal de las vísceras en la respiración, eliminar la deformidad visible y permitir un desarrollo normal de la caja torácica. Objetivo: Notificar 2 pacientes portadores de esta infrecuente malformación y revisar sus características clínicas, permitiendo realizar un diagnostico preciso, orientar el estudio y definir un adecuado tratamiento. Casos clínicos: Recién nacido masculino con una hendidura esternal completa que provoca un "distress" respiratorio y una preescolar de 4 años, con una hendidura parcial del tercio superior esternal, asociada a una cardiopatía congénita operada. Los pacientes son sometidos a una reparación quirúrgica que permitió un alta precoz y una evolución clínica favorable. Conclusión: La Hendidura Esternal es una malformación de baja frecuencia que debe ser corregida precozmente para evitar el uso de técnicas de mayor complejidad con resultados variables.

ABSTRACT

La displasia torácica asfixiante es una displasia esquelética de muy baja frecuencia, de transmisión autonómica recesiva y potencialmente letal. Clínicamente tiene una amplia variedad de manifestaciones; clásicamente se presenta con un tórax estrecho, hipoplasia pulmonar secundaria, rizomelia, anormalidades pélvicas y renales. El compromiso pulmonar es variable y puede ser letal. El diagnóstico puede sospecharse prenatalmente con el estudio ultrasonográfico al medir la circunferencia torácica y de la jaula costal y estudiar su relación entre sí y con la circunferencia abdominal. Además ayuda al diagnóstico el acortamiento de los huesos largos. En este artículo presentamos el caso clínico de una paciente cuyo diagnóstico fue postnatal y una revisión del tema.
