A patient with ankylosing spondylitis, migraine, Parkinson syndrome, renal insufficiency and myopathy, received an implantable-cardioverter-defibrillator because of asymptomatic left ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction as primary prophylaxis against sudden cardiac death. Inadvertently the ventricular lead was placed in a cardiac vein, the patient suffered from pericardial effusion and it was impossible to remove the lead. Implantation of an implantable-cardioverter-defibrillator simply upon the presence of LVHT appears not justified and may be more harmful than beneficial. Studies about the risk of SCD in adults with LVHT are necessary and will hopefully clarify if primary prevention of SCD is indicated.

Identification of certain abnormalities of the chest wall can be extremely helpful in correctly diagnosing a number of syndromic conditions and systemic diseases. Additionally, chest wall abnormalities may sometimes constitute diagnoses by themselves. In the present pictorial essay, we review a number of such conditions and provide illustrative cases that were retrospectively identified from our clinical imaging database. These include pentalogy of Cantrell, Klippel-Feil syndrome, cleidocranial dysplasia, Poland syndrome, osteopetrosis, neurofibromatosis type 1, Marfan syndrome, Gardner syndrome, systemic sclerosis, relapsing polychondritis, polymyositis/dermatomyositis, ankylosing spondylitis, hyperparathyroidism, rickets, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, tuberculosis, septic arthritis of the sternoclavicular joint, elastofibroma dorsi, and sternal dehiscence.
