Since this publication ten additional cases have appeared in the literature (2-8) and one additional case alluded to (5). Of these 37 cases, 17 have included some data on pulmonary function studies and two were evaluated by cardiac catheterization.Since July 1957 we have had the opportunity of following the clinical course of one of the patients originally reported (1), Case 13, and have obtained...References1.
