Abstract

Patterns of lung growth and function were studied retrospectively in 103 patients (73 male and 30 female) with idiopathic pectus excavatum in order to determine: 1) the prevalence of restrictive lung defect and/or other lung function abnormalities; 2) the possible association between type of lung function abnormalities and age of the patient; and 3) whether the type of lung function is associated with other clinical conditions. Forty-three patients (42%) were between 5-9 years of age; 36 (35%) were between 10-14 years; and 24 (23%) were between 15-19 years. Restrictive lung disease was detected only in 5 patients (5%), whereas 42 patients (41%) had evidence of obstructive pattern, and the remaining 56 patients (54%) had a normal pattern. The mean values for lung volume (total lung capacity (TLC) and/or forced vital capacity (FVC)) were lowest in the 10-14-year group, whereas the mean values of the indices of lower airway function (forced expiratory volume at 1 sec (FEV(1)), FEV(1)/FVC, forced expiratory flow at 25-75% of forced vital capacity (FEF(25-75)), and FEF(25-75)/FVC) were higher in the younger group. Residual volume (RV) and RV/TLC were elevated in all age groups, but they declined toward normalization with increasing ...Continue Reading
