在做手术之前, I didn’t realize how difficult it was for me to breathe, since it had been that way my entire life. My mom said one of the first things I said right after I came out of surgery, was that I could breathe a lot better."

漏斗胸与. 漏斗胸Carinatum
Pectus deformities are congenital, meaning you are born with them. But the conditions usually get worse during adolescence. Boys 和 people assigned male at birth are more likely to have a chest wall deformity. Experts don’t know why some children have pectus deformities, but family medical history may play a role.
Pectus excavatum causes your breastbone 和 ribs to grow inward. It is the most common chest wall deformity. Pectus carinatum is less common 和 causes your breastbone 和 ribs to jut outward.
Some children have mild pectus deformities, 和 you may not notice them until puberty. But other pectus deformities are severe 和 obvious early in life. Either way, treating your pectus deformity is important for your heart 和 lung health. Treatment will also help many children who experience self-esteem 和 body image issues because of a pectus deformity.
What to Expect at Your Pectus Consultation
Your pediatric specialist will measure the size of you or your child’s pectus deformity. They will ask questions 和 do a physical exam to see how the condition affects breathing 和 heart performance. 您可能还需要测试，例如 超声心动图1、心电图 CT扫描，以及压力测试. Your pediatric specialist will then find the best treatment option for you.
Treatment depends on how serious your deformity is. A brace is usually the best way to fix 漏斗胸carinatum, 和 you may not need surgery. Pectus excavatum usually requires a minimally invasive surgery. But sometimes there are nonsugical options.
