Abstract
An anatomic study of the organs of a 2-day-old female infant with severe repiratory manifestations of the G syndrome is presented. This case represents the third affected infant and first affected female of the J family. The first 2 male siblings were reported in previous communications. The developmental defects in this case include: failure of closure of the laryngotracheal groove, a high carina, hypoplasia of the left main stem bronchus, complete absence of the left lung, lack of major fissures of the right lung, a tracheo-esophageal fistula, agenesis of the gallbladder, and a stricture of the duodenum.
