Pectus Excavatum ( Funnel Chest) Pectus Carinatum : Generally, surgery should be deferred till maturity. Operative correction involves subperichondrial resection of costal cartilages and sternal osteotomy. Complications are low and recurrences rare. Recurrence is limited to patients who have undergone a unilateral resection of costal cartilages or an inadequate resection of the deformity. References: Asp K, Sulamaa M.

The Marfan Syndrome and Aortic Dissection New York State Department of Health, 11/97 What is the Marfan Syndrome? The Marfan Syndrome is a hereditary disorder of connective tissue that affects many organ systems, including the skeleton, Lungs, eyes, heart and blood vessels. In addition to those patients who have clearly defined cases of the Marfan Syndrome, there are thousands of others who have related connective tissue disorders that affect many of the same body systems. An estimated 200,000 people in the United States have the Marfan Syndrome or a related connective tissue disorder. What is aortic dissection? One of the primary manifestations of the Marfan Syndrome, as well as certain related disorders, is a fragile aorta which is prone to dissection. An aortic dissection is a tear involving the inner Layer of the aortic wall, which allows blood to enter and create a separation of the inner and outer Layers of this vessel. Dissection can Lead to weakening of the outer wall, resulting in rupture or aneurysm formation; occlusion of aortic branch vessels causing myocardial infarction, pericardial tamponade, stroke, kidney failure, bowel ischemia, paraplegia or limb ischemia; and disruption of the aortic valve, resulting in valvular insufficiency and cardiac failure. Why is emergency diagnosis and treatment of aortic dissection an important issue?

46. National Marfan Foundation: The Skeleton The breastbone (sternum) may either protrude (commonly called a pigeon breast; themedical term is pectus carinatum) or indent (funnel chest or pectus excavatum http://www.marfan.org/pub/resourcebook/skeleton.html

The Skeleton Excerpt from The Marfan Syndrome, by Reed E. Pyeritz, M.D., Ph.D. and Cheryll Gasner, M.N., C./F.N.P. Fourth Edition, May, 1994 Bones and ligaments are affected in many different ways. A person with Marfan syndrome will usually be tall, slender and somewhat loose-jointed or limber. The arms, legs, fingers and toes may be disproportionately long when compared with the trunk. Limberness in the feet and ankles may produce a flat arch (pes planus), inward rotation (pronation), or both. Abnormal spinal curvature is common and may become quite severe without treatment. Any side-to-side curvature is abnormal and is called scoliosis. When viewed from the side, the spine ordinarily curves in a double-S shape. People with Marfan syndrome may have accentuation or reversal of one or more of these curves; straightening or bowing inwards of the upper back (thoracic lordosis) is one such alteration. The breastbone (sternum) may either protrude (commonly called a pigeon breast; the medical term is pectus carinatum ) or indent (funnel chest or pectus excavatum ) due to overgrowth of the ribs.

Material and Method : This technique was applied to 6 patients out of 18 patients who underwent corrective surgery from May, 1987 to July, 1999. The technique is quite different from that of Ravitch. We did not divide the intercostal muscle bundles from the laterals of sternum and the Adkin's struts were placed retrosternally crossing the chest horizontally to prevent flail motion during immediate post-operative period and retraction of the sternum afterwards. Anterior sternal osteotomy, instead of the posterior one, was performed for the latest 3 cases, which made operative procedure more simple and easy. The struts were removed one year later. Result : Compared to the hospital stay of the patients who received standard Ravitch method, that of the six cases who received our modification was definitely shortened from 13.1 days to 8.3 days(p

Note to reporters: Dr. Don K. Nakayama can be reached at 919-966-4643. UNC-CH School of Medicine contact is Lynn Wooten, 919-966-6046, or email lwooten.est1@mail.unch.unc.edu By LESLIE H. LANG UNC-CH School of Medicine CHAPEL HILL, N.C. 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 new, simpler 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.

TheTreatment of Congenital Funnel Chest in Childrer With Orthopedic Frame Suspender three years and six monthes before operation f ore monthes after operation six years after operation From Nov.1991 to May 2000, 300 childen with Congnital Funnel Chest were performed by orthopedic operation with our orthopedic frane suspender. All of the 300 patierts haue gotten satisfectory results. This new operative method needs shorter anesthetic and operative time than any other traditional methods. The operation can be accomplishedwithout impairing the ribs znd sternum. so the magnitude of bleeding is no more than 10 cc. Sternen necrosis and infection, rib softer mediastinitis,injuring pleura and unatural breathing can be avoided. And it needs no specialnursing.It's unneccessary to take out the steel plate and the fixed steel needle. This orthopedic frame suspender doesn't affect the daily life of children after their being operated. The operation usually lastws 20 to 30 minuter.

Wickert August 1999 T he moment Alex was born, over nine years ago, Teri Edmunds and her husband, Doug, could tell something was wrong. Although the second of their three children weighed nearly 11 pounds, Alex’s chest was dramatically sunken, the result of a rare congenital hereditary deformity known as pectus excavatum, or "funnel chest." Doctors assured the new parents that Alex was healthy, but that the inward-facing sternum might eventually apply pressure to the newborn’s chest organs as the child grew, causing shortness of breath and a restricted growth of the heart and lungs. "I was so scared," Teri recalled. "His little chest totally collapsed with every breath."

Home Shrine Shriners Hospitals Hospital Directory ... Next SEEKING HELP Hope for children with chest deformities For the past four years, church members have told Mariah Moreno that she has the voice of an angel. At age 8, she continues to amaze her audiences with her beautiful singing voice and confident stage presence. During her week-long recovery in the hospital, Mariah's teddy bear, Faith, was her constant companion, along with her parents, Mary and John Moreno. The most inspiring thing about Mariah is that she recently had corrective surgery for pectus excavatum (PE) at the Houston Shriners Hospital for Children . This condition is also known as "funnel chest" or "sunken chest" and is the most common congenital chest wall deformity. Born with a noticeable indentation in her chest, Mariah's parents were informed by her doctors that she would eventually grow out of it. By age 6, though, she began suffering from severe breathing problems and chest pains, and also began losing a patch of hair near her forehead. Doctors diagnosed it as asthma and alopecia (a disease causing permanent hair loss). "It seemed like everywhere we turned, our doctors would not address her chest defect," said Mary, Mariah's mother. "We were confident that her sunken chest was a real problem, and we prayed for a solution."
