Case Discussion
Williams-Campbell syndrome is characterized by complete absence or insufficient development of the cartilaginous bronchial rings of the third-eighth bronchial orders. The trachea and main bronchi have a normal structure.
An autosomal recessive inheritance is presumed.
The lungs are usually hyperinflated.
