Asphyxiating thoracic dysplasia. Clinical, radiological, and pathological information on 10 patients.

Abstract: SUMMARY Review of 10 cases of asphyxiating thoracic dysplasia has shown a wide range of clinical effects and some variability in the radiographic features. Respiratory difficulty was severe in 7 babies and lethal in 6 of these. The seventh child is remarkable for his normal stature and excellent health at 15 years of age. 3 babies had no respiratory difficulty but 2 of them subsequently died of renal failure; one remains alive at 3 years. Microscopical abnormalities in the liver and kidneys were very frequent … Show more

“…Likewise, certain thoracic cage disorders, such as Jeune's syndrome, develop prenatally and have small thoracic cage dimensions and lung volumes at birth. Lungs at autopsies in the past were described as 'hypoplastic', but morphometric analyses are lacking [43]. Recent advances in thoracic cage expansion have increased the survival of these patients, but lung function and diffusion capacities have not been described postoperatively over time in order to discover how much more lung growth can occur.…”

“…В доступной литературе нет данных о том, что патология печени при СЖ является причиной смерти, однако R. Oberklaid с соавт. предположили, что фиброз паренхимы печени увеличивается пропорционально возрасту пациентов, выживших в первые 2 года жизни [38]. По данным разных авторов, летальность в первые 2 года жизни у больных с СЖ составляет 60−80%.…”

“…It is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder with an estimated incidence varying from 1 in 100,000 to 1 in 130,000 live births [2]. The typical characteristic of JATD is an osteochondrodysplasia characterized by a narrow thorax and shortened ribs in association with short-limb dwarfism.…”

“…The thoracic dysplasia results in progressive respiratory insufficiency with up to 60-70% of homozygous carriers dying from respiratory failure or chronic pulmonary infections. Despite the skeletal deformity affecting the thoracic cavity, pathologic studies suggest that alveolar and lung growth potential may be normal [2]. Although the clinical manifestations of respiratory insufficiency vary in magnitude from lethal to subclinical forms, comorbid conditions associated with JATD may lead to severe organ dysfunction affecting the kidney, pancreas, liver, and eyes in later years [3].…”
