The 2 brothers shown here were born with chest wall anomalies. The 18-year-old brother (<strong>A</strong>) had daily chest pain and decreased stamina when swimming. His medical history was significant for persistent asthma that required use of 2 prevention medications and a rescue inhaler. Pulmonary function testing showed both restrictive and obstructive disease. Between the ages of 12 and 17 years, he wore a brace for scoliosis; serial radiographs showed a maximum right thoracic curve of 33º and a maximum left thoracolumbar curve of 35º. </p>
