Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the association and evaluate the characteristics between different types of anterior chest wall and spinal deformities.
Methods: A total of 548 patients with anterior chest wall deformities were included in this study. Clinical and radiological examinations were performed to determine spinal deformities. The type and severity of the spinal deformities were evaluated and their relationships with chest wall deformity subtypes were statistically analyzed.
Results: Spinal deformities were identified in 93 (16.97%) patients. The patients were subdivided into 71 (76.3%) male and 22 (23.7%) female patients. A spinal deformity was detected in 57 (13%) of 418 pectus excavatum (PE) patients, in 23 (19%) of 117 pectus carinatum (PC) patients, and in all patients with mixed pectus deformity (PE + PC), syndromic deformity and rib anomalies. In the PE group, scoliosis, and kyphosis were observed at 57.9 and 31.6%, respectively. In the PC group, these rates were 43.5 and 47.8%, respectively. Idiopathic scoliosis was observed in 42 (77.7%) and constituted the most common scoliosis subgroup. The main thoracic curvature was the most common curve pattern, which was observed in 15 (35.7%) patients with idiopathic scoliosis.
Conclusions: Idiopathic scoliosis with main thoracic curvature is the most common deformity in patients with anterior chest wall deformity. Spinal deformities are more common in male patients with chest deformities. Kyphosis is found in a significant number of PE and PC patients. Patients with mixed PE and PC, rib anomalies, and syndromic disease are more likely to have spinal deformities.
