An unusual case of flail chest: surgical repair using Marlex mesh.

A G Heriot1, F C Wells.   

Abstract

The case history is presented of a patient with neurofibromatosis with a chest wall defect present from birth. Abnormal rib development had resulted in a flail segment with painful paradoxical movement and unsightly costal cartilage protrusion. Chest wall reconstruction using Marlex mesh resulted in an excellent cosmetic and functional repair.
