Abstract
- Asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy may affect the development of multiple organs of the body, so these kinds of patients are usually short and thin. We met a 16-year-old female patient whose development exceeded the normal level. Although she was only 16 years old, her height was 167 cm and her weight was 71 Kg. Such development is extremely rare for this kind of patient, and there is no similar report in the previous literature. Comparatively, her thorax was narrow and small, and the ratio of thorax to trunk was uncoordinated, which made her situation particularly serious. We adopted Wenlin procedure combined with Wang procedure for correction. Since these two procedures were ideal orthopaedic operations, and could correct the depression effectively, we finally achieved satisfactory results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
