The course of a Wilson-Mikity-syndrome in biovular twins born 19 weeks prematurely is reported. The disease started in the second week of life, reached its peak in the ninth week and it was complicated by a bronchopneumonia as well as a spastic bronchitis resulting in cardiac failure in both infants. On infant suffered spontaneous fracture of the ribs. Both patients were stationary for 26 weeks and 31 weeks respectively. A routine-examination at the age of 1 year revealed still distinct lung abnormalities, but nevertheless showing a tendency of improvement. Signs of right ventricular hypertrophy were found in the ECG of both children but more distinctly in the girl. The neurological development of the infants were found to be normal.
