Abstract
A 3,345 gram girl was born in an uncomplicated delivery to a 23-year-old mother (gravida 3, para 2). Within a few minutes of birth, the infant exhibited mild respiratory distress, chest wall retractions, and transient cyanosis. A chest roentgenogram (Fig 1) was obtained. Pneumonia was suspected and, after evaluation for sepsis, treatment with antibiotics was begun. After seven days of kanamycin and ampicillin therapy, the mild respiratory distress and the density seen on the chest x-ray films were unchanged. An esophagogram (Fig 2) and computer tomographic study (Fig 3) were then obtained. Figure 2 View Large Image Figure Viewer Figure 3 View Large Image Figure Viewer
