Jeune syndrome, X-ray C018 / 0410
Jeune syndrome. X-ray of the chest of a 2 year old with Jeune syndrome, also known as asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy. This inherited disease affects the development of the bones and cartilage and causes the ribs to be smaller, and therefore the rib cage to be narrower, than normal. This doesn t allow the lungs to develop probably and prevents normal inhalation. It is often fatal in the early years and very few patients live into their teens

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating effects of Jeune syndrome, also known as asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy, on a 2-year-old child's chest. Jeune syndrome is an inherited disease that disrupts the normal development of bones and cartilage, resulting in smaller ribs and a narrower rib cage than usual. As a consequence, proper lung development is hindered, making normal inhalation impossible. The image reveals the abnormality through radiography, showcasing the delicate skeletal structure of this young patient. The frontal X-ray highlights the severity of their condition - a stark reminder of how fragile life can be. Jeune syndrome often proves fatal during early childhood, with very few patients surviving into their teenage years. This distressing diagnosis places immense strain on both the affected individual and their loved ones. Medical professionals specializing in pediatrics or paediatrics play a crucial role in diagnosing and managing this hereditary disorder. They work tirelessly to provide support and treatment options for these brave children who face significant respiratory challenges from birth. ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has captured this poignant moment to raise awareness about Jeune syndrome's debilitating impact on individuals' lives. Through such visual representations, we are reminded of the importance of medical research and advancements aimed at improving outcomes for those living with rare genetic conditions like Jeune syndrome.
