Pectus carinatum in a dog

چکیده
Deformities of the anterior thorax wall, named Pectus, are commonly observed in children and teenagers (Beirão, 1999); however, they are considered rare in small animals (Orton, 1998). Two types of deformities are known: the Pectus excavatum (PE) and Pectus carinatum (PC). PE is a dorsal to ventral narrowing of the thorax, also known as funnel chest (Fossum, 2002), whereas PC is a ventral protrusion of the sternum, also known as Pectus galinatum or pigeon breast (Cardenal, 1954). There is no clear known etiology for either type of sternum congenital deformity in humans and animals (Haje, 1995; Ellison and Halling 2004; Frey et al., 2006).

The sandwich technique for repair of pectus carinatum and excavatum/carinatum complex.

We devised the sandwich technique (press-molding) to remodel the entire chest wall. The purpose of this study is to introduce the sandwich technique and appraise the early results. METHODS Between January 2007 and Janu...

متن کاملChest wall anomalies: pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum.
Pectus excavatum, the concave depression of the breast bone, comprises most chest wall anomalies. The Nuss procedure, a minimally invasive procedure to correct pectus excavatum, has revolutionized the management of this disease over the past decade. The results and complications of this procedure are discussed. The surgical management of the less common pectus carinatum or "pigeon breast" also ...
