ABSTRACT
Pectus excavatum in which the sternum is depressed and the anterior chest wall is concave in shape, is the most common congenital deformity to affect this region of the body. Various deformities involving depression or protrusion are caused by the degree and location of the sternal depression, and associated deformities such as a tilted sternum and anterior convexity of costal cartilages may occur. The most common associated disorders are Poland syndrome, Marfan syndrome and scoliosis.
