Abstract

History: Case of the Day M.D. Meeting, B. Towbin, Kim Han, M.D. Richard William S. Ball, Jr., M.D. The patient was a 2,523 gram infant born after 35 week’s gestation. The neonate was depressed and cyanotic and had retraction and grunting at birth. A chest radiograph (Figure I) was obtained on the second day of life, and because of increasing respiratory distress and hypoxia, the infant was intubated. She did well on antibiotic therapy, allowing extubation on the sixth day of life. Two days later, a repeat chest radiograph (Figure 2) showed an interval change. Subsequently, progressive respiratory distress required reintubation. Figure 3 is a followup chest radiograph. Figure of the upper is a sonogram abdomen and diaphragm.
