Abstract:
Pectus excavatum (PEXT) consists of an overgrowth of the chondral region with posterior displacement of the inferior part of the sternum, resulting in a concave chest deformity. Characteristic clinical and imaging findings may occur, depending on the compression that right cardiac chambers suffer, when squeezed between the sternum and the column vertebrae.
Keywords:Brugada phenocopy  Orthostatic syndrome  Pectus excavatum  Ravitch procedure  Right ventricular compression
