Written By Britt Pados

In this paper, we describe the case of a full-term infant who presented at birth with cardiorespiratory failure of unknown origin. At approximately 10 hours of life, the infant was transported to our children’s hospital given failure to respond to respiratory support. A full history and clinical presentation are provided along with case study questions and answers to guide clinical learning.
