Cerebrocostomandibular syndrome: a diagnostic challenge.

A male infant born in a tertiary maternity facility was noted to have microretrognathia, a small mouth and macroglossia at delivery. He was born limp and apnoeic and required multiple attempts at intubation before a definitive airway was eventually sited. Chest X-rays, while in the paediatric intensive care unit, demonstrated dysplastic ribs with associated 'high-riding' clavicles.
