Pectus Excavatum is a congenital deformity that causes the sternum to be depressed into the chest causing a "caved-in" look. It causes decreased lung capacity and often chest and back pain. This condition occurs once in every 500 children, normally in males. The condition often becomes worse during the teenage years. == Treatment == The Ravitch technique is an invasive surgery that was developed in the 1950s to treat the condition. Since then, Dr. Donald Nuss has developed a technique that is minimally invasive. The Nuss technique involves inserting a convex steel bar into the chest to bring out the sternum. Pectus excavatum can also be treated with a dermal filler called Polyalkylimide®. == External links == *http://www.lorenzsurgical.com/PE_correction_DE.html * [http://www.ctds.info/pectus_excavatum.html Pectus Excavatum - Genetic and Nutritional Factors]
