Asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (ATD), also known as Jeune syndrome, is a rare osteochondrodysplasia with characteristic skeletal abnormalities as well as the involvement of kidneys, liver, pancreas and eyes. Patients have proximal cervical stenosis and severe respiratory insufficiency due to the skeletal abnormalities such as narrow thorax and short ribs.
