Abstract

Chest-wall malformations (CWMs) have a relatively high incidence and an unsuspecting impact on the quality of life of patients. Besides a minority of symptomatic cases, most patients seek medical advice for psychosocial concerns. These concerns can be severe, and are usually due to: poor cosmetic appearance; aversion to undertaking sporting activities: aversion to being seen in public.
