Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of marrow failure syndrome and exocrine pancreatic dysfunction with an estimated incidence of 1/76,000. When present, characteristic skeletal abnormalities are strongly suggestive of SDS but most often they are seen during childhood and adolescence. We present a case of preterm twins with prenatal diagnosis of thoracic hypoplasia and a clinical evolution that lead to an early diagnosis of SDS. This report highlights the importance of a high index of suspicion for SDS in case of neonatal thoracic hypoplasia
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
