Pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum, which represent the two main anterior chest wall deformities, are often associated with systemic weakness of the connective tissues and poor muscular development of the human trunk, including chest, abdomen, and spine. Both forms have, therefore, a markedly increased association with scoliosis and connective tissue disorders such as Marfan and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes.

Abstract
Pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum, which represent the two main anterior chest wall deformities, are often associated with systemic weakness of the connective tissues and poor muscular development of the human trunk, including chest, abdomen, and spine. Both forms have, therefore, a markedly increased association with scoliosis and connective tissue disorders such as Marfan and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes.File in questo prodotto:
