Preface
Congenital chest abnormalities such as pectus excavatum and Poland syndrome are well known to be mostly a real psychological and social problem because of this morphological difference and asymmetries. Research on the genetic background and a probable vascular embryologic origin of these outbreaks is very interesting (Chaput); mostly, these can be associated with each other or with other conditions like tuberous breasts in women. The fibrous network could be induced by a lack of vascularization so that the normal growth of cartilage, muscles, and breasts is stopped or slowed down. Pectus excavatum is by far the most common with at least 1/1000 patients, but it is difficult to obtain statistics on this malformation which is not often seen at birth as in the case of Poland (1/30,000). In addition, many patients have mild deformity and asymmetry that are not obvious for physicians, as there are no functional disorders and surgical solutions are too invasive. The respiratory (Daussy) and cardiac (Shah) functions seem to be, in most cases, compatible with a normal life: the benefit/risk balance clearly supports plastic surgeries because they offer good aesthetic r
