ZusammenfassungBrustwanddeformitäten im Kindes- und Jugendalter sind als Ganzes betrachtet relativ häufig, wobei sie ein weites Spektrum von zum Teil sehr seltenen Entitäten umfassen. Pectus excavatum hat die höchste Prävalenz, es können symptomatische und asymptomatische Fälle auftreten. Symptomatische Patienten sollten behandelt werden, wobei die minimalinvasive operative Korrektur als effektiveres Verfahren neben der Saugglockenbehandlung die größte Rolle spielt. Pectus carinatum und Mischformen der Brustwanddeformität können ebenfalls zu einem erheblichen Leidensdruck führen und bedürfen in solchen Fällen einer individualisierten Therapie. Syndromale Brustwanddeformitäten wie beispielsweise das Jeune-Syndrom bilden eine eigene Gruppe von sehr seltenen Erkrankungen, die erhebliche, zum Teil auch lebensbedrohliche Komorbiditäten aufweisen. Solche Patienten sollten in Zentren mit entsprechender Expertise interdisziplinär und multimodal behandelt werden. Diese Übersichtsarbeit stellt die einzelnen Brustwanderkrankungen, deren Bedeutung und mögliche Therapieansätze vor.

AbstractPectus carinatum has traditionally been described as a rare chest wall anomaly in comparison to pectus excavatum. However, recent data from chest wall anomaly clinics demonstrate that this deformity is probably much more frequent than once believed. In the past, invasive surgical correction by the Ravitch technique was essentially the only option for treatment of pectus carinatum. Major advances over the past two decades have provided additional options, including noninvasive chest wall bracing and minimally invasive surgical correction. This article will discuss current options for the treatment of pectus carinatum, and some of the factors that should be taken into account when choosing the options available. Diagnosis and treatment of the pectus arcuatum variant will also be described.

Congenital sternal defects are rare deformities frequently associated with other anomalies of the chest wall and other organ systems. Although pectus excavatum, pectus carinatum, and cleft sternum can present as isolated deformity, in most cases they are associated with heart and inner organs anomalies and described as symptoms of syndromes like Marfan syndrome, Noonan syndrome, Poland anomaly, and Cantrell pentalogy. In contrast, the etiology of an isolated defect is not well understood. We observed a short sternum (dysmorphic manubrium, hypoplastic body, and complete absence of the xiphoid process) in a completely asymptomatic 13-year-old woman. A comprehensive instrumental exams panel was performed to exclude associated anomalies of the heart and of the other organ systems. The patient was completely asymptomatic and she did not need any medical or surgical treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first case of isolated short sternum reported in literature.

Pectus Carinatum

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.
