This article is from Pediatric Reports , volume 5 . Abstract Pectus excavatum, the most frequent congenital chest wall deformity, may be rarely observed as a sole deformity or as a sign of an underlying connective tissue disorder. To date, only few studies have described correlations between this deformity and heritable connective tissue disorders such as Marfan, Ehlers-Danlos, Poland, MASS (Mitral valve prolapse, not progressive Aortic enlargement, Skeletal and Skin alterations) phenotype among others. When concurring with connective tissue disorder, cardiopulmonary and vascular involvement may be associated to the thoracic defect. Ruling out the concomitance of pectus excavatum and connective tissue disorders, therefore, may have a direct implication both on surgical outcome and long term prognosis. In this review we focused on biological bases of connective tissue disorders which may be relevant to the pathogenesis of pectus excavatum, portraying surgical and clinical implication of their concurrence.

There is limited empirical evidence on the best types of intervention to assist Allied Health Professionals address hand dysfunction for children and adolescents with Heritable Disorders of Connective Tissue. Clinicians may rely on non-peer reviewed sources of information to inspire and guide their treatment. A scoping review methodology will be used to explore the range and quality of available evidence of interventions to inform the conservative management of hand dysfunction for children and adolescents with Heritable Disorders of Connective Tissue.
