Abstract
A 9-year-old school-going boy was referred to us for evaluation of childhood interstitial lung disease (chILD), with complaints of persisting dry cough, since the newborn period, tachypnea at rest, and failure to gain weight. Upon evaluation his findings were consistent with William-Campbell syndrome (WCS). He was advised for airway clearance technique (ACT) and was started on Bipap at night for splinting of the airways.
