Abstract

We report a case of six and a half monts old female irıfant who was noted to have a narrow constricted rib cage with short ribs and various congenital malformations. The patient was diagnosed as asphyxiating thoracic dysplasia which is a rare disease. She died when she was three years old because of respiratory insufficiency.
