Wilson-Mikity syndrome (WMS), an uncommon cause of respiratory distress presenting after birth, is radiologically characterised by varying degrees of interstitial thickening and bilateral cyst-like foci of hyperinflation. Aetiology and pathogenesis are still unknown. There are few reports of WMS in the paediatric literature and none describing the features and value of high-resolution CT. The purpose of this report is to describe the radiographic findings and high-resolution CT appearance of WMS and to correlate them with the histopathological findings.

Wilson-Mikity syndrome (WMS) is a rare condition characterized by various respiratory and pulmonary abnormalities in neonates and infants. However, the diagnosis is based on the findings of physiological tests, such as respiratory function tests. Reports describing the histopathological features of WMS are limited.

Background: The role of intrauterine infection in the development of neonatal pulmonary disease is unclear and the impact of histological chorioamnionitis (HCAM) on respiratory outcomes in preterm infants remains controversial. The aim of this study was to explore the association between HCAM and neonatal respiratory outcomes in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) preterm infants and evaluate the stepwise difference in the stage and severity of HCAM among neonatal respiratory outcomes.
Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 129 VLBW preterm infants with placenta histopathology examinations in this study.

Chorioamnionitis (CAM) is associated with abortion, premature labor and neonatal disorders. In this condition, precise pathological diagnosis of the placenta is very important. Besides histological examination, macroscopic examination of the placenta is indispensable.
