ABSTRACT

The classical manifestation of asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy comprise narrow chest, short limbs, and pelvic changes. The degree of respiratory distress varied from negligible to lethal.

We have experienced a case of asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy who died from chronic renal failure in a 5-month old infant. Abriefreviewofassociatedliteratureisalsopresented.
