Abstract:Jeune syndrome, also known as asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy, was first described by Jeune et al in a couple of siblings back in 1955. He described 2 boys with certain distinctive characteristics, particularly a severely narrow thorax [1]. We now know it is a rare genetic condition presented in only 1 per 1000 000 130 000 live births in the USA [1].
