Abstract

The Velocardiofacial (VCF) syndrome is a relatively frequent cromosomopathy that usually associates various otorhinolaryngological features, as hipenasal speech, typical facies and auricular anomalies. We report a patient with VCF syndrome that before being diagnosed had undergone adenoidectomy with a postoperative worsening in speech. Otorhinolaryngological clinical features of the VCF syndrome are discussed and a diagnostic protocol is proposed to achieve an early diagnosis and to prevent iatrogenic interventions in these patients.
