    Surgical removal of tonsils and adenoids rapidly resolved cor pulmonale in two patients with facio-auriculo-vertebral sequence. Early observation is crucial for children with craniofacial malformations to prevent airway obstruction and heart failure.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Otolaryngology
    • Cardiology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Facio-auriculo-vertebral sequence (FAVS) is a congenital disorder affecting craniofacial structures.
    • Cor pulmonale, a form of right heart failure, can arise from chronic airway obstruction.
    • Airflow impedance in children with craniofacial anomalies poses a significant health risk.

    Observation:

    • Two pediatric patients with FAVS presented with cor pulmonale secondary to chronic airway obstruction.
    • These patients had normal-sized tonsillar and adenoidal tissue.
    • Diminished pharyngeal dimensions, micrognathia, and midface hypoplasia were noted in the affected children.

    Findings:

    • Surgical removal of tonsils and adenoids led to rapid and complete resolution of cor pulmonale in both patients.

  • The intervention effectively addressed the chronic airway obstruction.
  • This suggests a direct link between upper airway obstruction and cardiac complications in these patients.

    • Implications:

    • Early and close observation of children with craniofacial malformations is essential.
    • Prompt surgical intervention for airway obstruction may prevent progressive airflow impedance and right heart failure.
    • This approach highlights a potentially effective treatment strategy for cor pulmonale in specific pediatric populations.
