Introduction: Pectus Excavatum usually recognized during infancy and become worse with growing ages.
Case presentation: We presented a 6 months old male child to our departmental OPD with complaints of indrawing of anterior chest wall. On
physical examination revealed a signicant Pectus Excavatum deformity. There was no other abnormality except the chest wall deformity. An
abnormal chest X-ray and CT scan demonstrated leftward displacement of heart and great vessels.
Conclusion: Surgery for Pectus Excavatum is specialized and can be done in early childhood with better outcome.
