Abstract
We report the case of a 6‐year‐old child who fell from a height of almost 10 metres. He had a large wound in the anterior chest wall with herniation of the lung through a defect produced by dysjunction of costo‐chondral/sterno‐chondral cartilages of the second to the fifth right ribs. Successful reduction and surgical repair was performed through a right anterolateral thoracotomy.
