1. its not really a medical condition. everyones body is asymetrical. for me, my right shoulder sits just slightly lower than my left. now, if something inside the ribcage was pushing it out than that could be a problem
2. There are several conditions (pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum) which cause abnormalities of the rib cage. Here is a site that will answer your question. http://www.pectus.org/whatis.htm
