A one year and ten months old male infant had a severe degree of funnel chest with frequent recurrent respiratory infections after birth and died of respiratory failure. Respiratory paradox movement of the sternum was dominant.
At autopsy was recognized in the right lower lobe and the left lung, and the right middle lobe was overinflated. The trachea was depressed in a posterior direction by the dilatated pulmonary artery due to cor pulmonale in addition to anterior chest wall depression. The heart was prominently deviated to the left side, and showed right ventricular hypertrophy which was consistent with cor pulmonale.
In the brain, there was absence of the corpus callosum, accompanied by marked separation of both lateral ventricles and slight dorsal deviation of the third ventricle. In addition to these anomalies, there were retention testis and anomaly of the kidnly.
