Abstract
Thoracic cage abnormalities may produce respiratory problems in the neonatal period. Particularly disorders of bone growth and formation, such as in skeletal dysplasias, may restrict pulmonary development and expansion, or may distort the airways. The radiographic features of these disorders are diverse, but generally include short ribs.
