The manifestations of asthma in a child with Williams Syndrome

Abstract


This case report introduces a 9-year-old girl with a known case of Williams Syndrome (WS) who presented with chronic dry cough to the pediatric pulmonologist clinic. The diagnosis of asthma was established based on detailed history, physical examination, and chest x-rays. She was treated with Budesonide nebulizer twice a day and Montelukast once daily. Afterwards, the patient had immediate clinical improvement. In reviewing the literature, we found that some individuals with WS had a history of asthma or wheezing. However, more research is needed to fully understand the exact relationship between the development of respiratory diseases and Williams Syndrome.


Key words: Williams syndrome, Asthma, Children
