    Author: Frand M.
    Journal: Harefuah; 1989 Nov 15; 117(10):301-2. PubMed ID: 2613088.
    Abstract:
    4 patients with enlarged tonsils and adenoids associated with pectus excavatum are presented. 2 also had signs of pulmonary hypertension and congestive heart failure. All 4 underwent adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy. Respiratory distress and congestive heart failure were rapidly relieved, while the pectus deformity improved gradually and completely disappeared in 6 months to 2 years after surgery.
