Velocardiofacial syndrome
Velocardiofacial syndrome is a rare syndrome with the following features:
- characteristic facies:
- squared nose
- small nostrils
- small mouth
- cardiac defects
- submucous cleft palate
- hypodynamic pharynx
Attempted correction of velopharyngeal insufficiency surgically may be complicated by medially placed internal carotid arteries. These interfere with the siting of pharyngoplasty flaps.
