Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) is a common complication in preterm neonates. If RDS is not responding to conventional treatment modalities (surfactant therapy, ventilatory support, etc.), an underlying pathology (pulmonary lymphangiectasia, capillary alveolar dysplasia, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, etc.) other then prematurity should be taken into consideration.Here, we report on a preterm neonate with the unusual simultaneous occurrence of pulmonary and systemic lymphangiectasia and homozygous alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency who developed severe RDS that was refractory to conventional treatment. The diagnostic and therapeutic approach in this patient is presented.
