Hi,

What is Lordosis?

Lordosis is a disorder defined by an excessive inward curve of the spine. It differs from the spine's normal curves at the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions, which are, to a degree, either kyphotic or lordotic. The spine's natural curves position the head over the pelvis and work as shock absorbers to distribute mechanical stress during movement.

Lordosis can be found in all age groups. It primarily affects the lumbar spine, but does occur in the neck (cervical). When found in the lumbar spine, the patient may appear swayback, the buttocks more prominent, and in general an exaggerated posture. A lumbar lordosis can be painful sometimes affecting movement.

What is Pigeon breast?

Chest abnormalities may occur due to an overgrowth of the ribs. There are two types of chest abnormalities:
•Pigeon breast, also called pectus carinatum. The chest protrudes outward like a bird’s chest. This can affect heart and lung function.
•Funnel chest, also called pectus excavatum. The chest is sunken or indented, reducing the space between the breastbone and the backbone. As a result, the heart and lungs are displaced. Heart and lung function may be affected, leading to breathing and endurance problems.

What is Hollow chest?

In flail chest, the chest wall is destabilized either due to congenital causes, acquired causes like due to separation of thoracopagus conjoined twins or resection of ribs because of tumor, or trauma. Reportedly, 1 in 300 births has some sort of congenital chest deformity. However, only 42 known cases of congenital flail chest have been described in children under the diagnosis of "Cerebro-costalmandibular Syndrome." 25 Children with this syndrome display RIB GAPS CAUSING A VERY NARROW THORAX, HOLLOW CHEST AND OTHER DEFORMITIES. Among the 42 juvenile cases reported in the literature, 33 had associated respiratory difficulty, and 25 died. No reconstruction or other intervention was described, nor was there long-term follow-up on the survivors. Another study presents data on 18 children with congenital chest wall deformities or malformations of various degrees of severity. 26 Of these 18 children, 15 were either stillborn or neonatal deaths.

I hopw you atleast got some idea about the above three, I mention below some URLs for you to review.....Plz go through.
