| 英文描述 | Pectus excavatum is a congenital maldevelopment of the costal cartilages which leads to involution of the sternocostal segment and a displaced sternum. In pectus excavatum the sternum is depressed. The degree of malformation ranges from mild to severe. Clinical cases have been reported in puppies and kittens, and this has been seen at necropsy in calves and lambs. Radiography can be used to confirm the diagnosis. |
