Abstract

Pectus carinatum (PC) is an anterior thoracic visible deformity manifested by protrusion of the sternum. It can be an isolated chest deformity or it can be seen together with genetic pathologies. We analyzed the cardiac findings of 40 children who were diagnosed with pectus carinatum at Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University’s Thoracic Surgery Outpatient Clinic between 1 February 2021 and 1 February 2022 and 97 healthy controls in similar age groups. The Pectus Carinatum patients had higher rates of cardiac malposition, MVP (Mitral valve prolapse), MI (mitral insufficiency), TVP (tricuspid valve prolapse), CHD (congenital heart disease), and aortic valve pathology. Our study showed that the prevalence of cardiac pathologies in the pediatric PC patients was higher than that in the control group consisting of healthy children. Thus, it may be recommend the referral of pediatric PC patients to cardiology outpatient clinics for the early diagnosis of potential cardiac pathologies.
