Abstract
Two cases of prolonged survival of thanatophoric dysplasia are presented, in which ventilatory support was initiated in the neonatal period because of respiratory distress. Both patients required a ventriculoperitoneal shunt for hydrocephalus and had decompression of the posterior fossa. The history of each patient has been characterized by profound developmental delay and dramatic growth failure.Keywords
