Pectus Carinatum: What You Need to Know
Pectus carinatum is a chest deformity where the sternum (breastbone) sticks out too far. It is sometimes called “bird chest” or “pigeon chest” because of the protrusion of the sternum. The condition happens because of abnormal growth of cartilage (tough, connective tissue) on the ribs and sternum.
