Abstract EN
Thymic hyperplasia is usually an asymptomatic condition observed in infancy.
A five-week-old boy presented with respiratory distress and feeding disorder, in which chest X-ray and bronchoscopy revealed a strong laryngotracheal displacement.
Sonography and MRI confirmed the diagnosis of a thymic hyperplasia.
Corticosteroid therapy led to improvement of clinical symptoms.
Thymic hyperplasia may lead to laryngo-tracheal displacement and respiratory distress in neonates and young children.
