Miller–Dieker Syndrome Associated with Congenital Lobar Emphysema

Abstract

Miller–Dieker syndrome (MDS) is a rare genetic syndrome associated with lissencephaly, developmental delay, and high mortality. We describe a patient who was diagnosed postnatally with both MDS and congenital lobar emphysema. We believe that this is the first reported case of the two conditions presenting in the same patient.
