Abstract
Chest wall deformities are divided as an abnormal development during the growth or those secondary to a congenital malformation. The developmental type is the most common: pectus excavatum or pectus carinatum. The less common are the congenital types of chest wall abnormalities: Poland’s syndrome, Jeune’s syndrome, espondylothoracic dysplasia, espondylocostal dysplasia and defects of the ribs or sternum. The congenital type usually affects the relationship between the spine, rib cage and the lungs. Therefore, many of these patients will develop a progressive respiratory disturbance of restrictive type known as Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome. Thoracic insufficiency syndrome is defining as a deficiency of the rib cage to maintain a normal respiration and to sustain the physiological growth of the lungs. In this article will discuss several conditions that will affect the development and function of the chest wall.

The congenital type usually affects the relationship between the spine, rib cage and the lungs Many of these patients will develop a progressive respiratory disturbance of restrictive type known as Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome. Las deformidades del pecho de tipo congénita se caracterizan por afectar la relación entre la columna vertebral, la caja torácica y los pulmones. Este síndrome se define como la deficiencia de la caja torácica para mantener una respiración normal y sostener el crecimiento fisiológico del pulmón. En este artículo discutiremos varias condiciones que afectan el desarrollo y función de la caja torácica.
