  ABSTRACT: Objective: To identify the impact of an abnormally large neonatal chest circumference relative to head circumference on labor and neonatal morbidity. Methods: We used a retrospective cohort design to study 54 obstetric cases in which the neonatal thoracic circumference was ≥2.5 cm greater than that of the head. For each case we sought controls with a smaller thorax-head circumference difference. Ninety-seven controls were matched with their respective cases for birth weight, parity, maternal body mass index (BMI), and maternal ethnicity. Results: Cases had significantly smaller heads and larger trunks than controls (P
