Abstract (EN): Pectus excavatum is generally considered a benign problem with a wide spectrum of impact in body image. Some articles had highlighted that this deformity can be associated with important clinical problems. We report a case of a 14-year-old boy with a severe pectus excavatum associated with palpitations who was diagnosed with polymorphic ventricular arrhythmia. The arrhythmia was resolved after minimally invasive surgical correction of the pectus excavatum.
