Comparison of chest roentgenograms of patients with volume loss on one side suggests that symmetric lower anterior ribs favor a congenital etiology while crowding and downward displacement of the lower anterior ribs on the affected side indicate an acquired etiology. Both groups show some crowding of the first 5 ribs on the affected side. Mediastinal and diaphragmatic compensation prevents gross distortion of the external appearance of the chest in the absence of major bony abnormalities.
