“…Most patients with CS syndrome are asymptomatic, therefore surgical correction is optional and different opinions exist about the ideal age for surgical correction. Late puberty or adulthood was indicated as a preferred age for correction since cartilages resection will be performed when rib growth ends (7,24,28). It is important to keep in mind the potential for thoracic dystrophy should cartilage resection be carried out at too young an age, or too extensively.…”
