Overview
Williams–Campbell syndrome is a disease of the airways where cartilage in the bronchi is defective. This leads to collapse of the airways and bronchiectasis.[1] Williams–Campbell syndrome is deficiency of the bronchial cartilage distally.[2]
Symptoms
Diagnosis
Radiologically, the lungs are overinflated and on bronchoscopy bronchomalacia is demonstrated.[2]
History
It was described in 1960 by Howard Williams and Peter Campbell.[3][4]
