Hiya,
Its a deformity of the ribs...I'm afraid I don't know anymore than that though.

Yes it is a chest deformity seen in children with chronic respiraratory conditions such as asthma and also in children with rickets. There is a depression at the lower edge of the thorax at the insetion of the diaphragm. The depression It causes gives the chest the appearance of a pear. Treatment depends on how severe the deformity is.
Ik i am 10 years late but Vitamin D does help.😊
