Pectus Carinatum is often described as ‘pigeon chest’, and usually occurs around the age of 11 years. It is a chest wall deformity caused by overgrowth of the cartilage on either side of the sternum, causing the wall of the chest to protrude or stick out. This can be present from birth but usually develops during the rapid growth of adolescence.

Pectus Excavatum can be present from birth, but it often becomes more noticeable during periods of rapid growth, particularly in early adolescence. 

Pectus excavatum is the most common chest wall deformity, with a prevalence of approximately 1 in 300–400 births, and research suggests it affects males more frequently than females. The appearance and severity of the condition can progress during puberty, especially during growth spurts.
