| Abstract |
|
Asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (ATD) is a rare inherited malformation first described in 1954 by Jeune et al. ATD is a clinical and radiological entity characterized by disturbance of in utero endochondral bone formation; it appears with a small thoracic cage and pelvic and phalangeal abnormalities.
The authors experienced a case of ATD in a 1 day old boy with the chief complaint of respiratory difficulty. The diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical features, radiologic and autopsy findings.
The authors hereby report the case with a brief review of literatures. |
