Sunken Chest

Pectus excavatum (a Latin term meaning hollowed chest) is the most common congenital deformity of the anterior wall of the chest, in which several ribs and the sternum grow abnormally. This produces a caved-in or sunken appearance of the chest. It can either be present at birth or not develop until puberty.
Pectus excavatum is sometimes considered to be cosmetic; however, depending on the severity, it can impair cardiac and respiratory function and cause pain in the chest and back. People with the condition may experience negative psychosocial effects, and avoid activities that expose the chest.
Pectus excavatum is sometimes referred to as cobbler's chest, sunken chest, funnel chest or simply a dent in the chest.

Re: Sunken Chest

I used to know a guy who has that. (Less extreme, but he still has a hole.)
During parties, his friends fill it with alcohol and drink shots from it.

Re: Sunken Chest

I think all 3 of my brothers have this going on to some degree, but only one of them has it bad. Not as bad as the kid in the pic, not as 'long' at least. My brothers is pretty deep. It looked deeper when he was fat.

My sister and I tho, do not have this going on. I'm not sure it's even possible for girls. I'm not proving it with pics either so don't ask.

When I was around 6 years old, there was a girl with this in my class, so I guess it's possible for girls.
(I saw it because we had to change all together before swimming class. )
