A Rare Case of Cleidocranial Dysplasia Causing Unilateral Lung Herniation in the Setting of an Acute Viral Infection.

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a skeletal disorder with potential respiratory complications. We report a case of a 77-day-old male child with CCD who presents in respiratory distress. The infant was found to have a unilateral lung herniation secondary to an acute viral illness. This case highlights the importance of keeping CCD in the differential diagnosis of a neonate in respiratory distress.
