What is pectus excavatum (funnel chest)?
Pectus excavatum, also known as funnel chest, is a congenital deformity where the breastbone and ribs grow inward, creating a visible indentation in the chest. This condition can cause both cosmetic and physical issues – and in severe cases, it may reduce lung function and blood circulation.
