Wyss/Campbell Center for Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome
The Wyss/Campbell Center for Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome is the first national, multidisciplinary program devoted solely to the treatment of thoracic insufficiency syndrome. This syndrome is most often caused by progressive scoliosis and severe rib fusion, or conditions such as Jeune syndrome (spondylocostal dysplasia), Jarcho-Levin syndrome, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), cerebrocostomandibular syndrome, arthrogryposis and VATER syndrome.
