Author ProfileAbstract
Large osteochondroma arising from chest wall and sternum is uncommon and
presentation with airway compression is further uncommon. Here we
present a case of large chest wall osteochondroma as a part of
Hereditary multiple exostoses in a 9 years old boy presented with a
history of stridor and shortness of breath. The bony mass of the right
chest wall was extending up to a suprasternal notch and compressing the
trachea. The case was successfully managed by initial femoro-femoral
cardiopulmonary bypass under local anesthesia prior to the induction of
anesthesia to prevent respiratory collapse, followed by debulking
surgery was done.28 May 2020Submitted to Journal of Cardiac Surgery 29 May 2020Submission Checks Completed
