  • Title: Cor pulmonale and facio-auriculo-vertebral sequence.
    Author: Mealer WR, Fisher JC.
    Journal: Cleft Palate J; 1984 Apr; 21(2):100-3. PubMed ID: 6587944.
    Abstract:
    Two patients with facio-auriculo-vertebral sequence and cor pulmonale secondary to chronic airway obstruction responded rapidly and completely following surgical removal of normal-sized tonsillar and adenoidal tissue. Any child with a craniofacial malformation that includes diminished pharyngeal dimension or moderate micrognathia with midface hypoplasia must be observed closely, lest chronic progressive airflow impedance lead to right heart failure.
