Jeune syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disorder, is characterized by skeletal abnormalities, particularly a narrow, bell-shaped chest, leading to severe respiratory distress in newborns. This case report details a full-term female neonate presenting with significant respiratory challenges, typical skeletal features, and early-onset renal dysfunction. Despite normal initial imaging, persistent renal abnormalities were observed, underscoring the need for early diagnosis, vigilant monitoring, and a multidisciplinary management approach to optimize outcomes for patients with Jeune syndrome.

Nitrous oxide, also called nitrous monoxide, or nitrous oxide, is a colorless and odorless gas, without toxicological effect, but it can be asphyxiating at high concentration, its misuse is increasing especially among young people. Chronic use of NO may cause psychiatric complications, including depression, hypomania, and paranoid psychosis with visual and auditory hallucinations.

Shwachman Diamond Syndrome (SDS) is a multi-system disease characterized by exocrine pancreatic insufficiency with malabsorption, infantile neutropenia and aplastic anemia. Life-threatening complications include progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), critical deep-tissue infections and asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy. In most patients, SDS results from biallelic pathogenic variants in the gene, different combinations of which contribute to heterogenous clinical presentations.

Current treatment protocols primarily focus on acute-phase management, but a comprehensive understanding of the long-term neurological effects remains incomplete.
Patient Concerns: A 22-year-old male worker was found unconscious in the furnace room of an argon production facility.
