Labyrinthine malformation in the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome

Clin Dysmorphol. 2007 Jan;16(1):67-68. doi: 10.1097/MCD.0b013e328010d0a4.

Abstract

Velocardiofacial syndrome and DiGeorge syndrome, integrating to form the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, manifest frequently with hearing loss. Instead, a labyrinthine anomaly is only occasionally described in velocardiofacial syndrome/DiGeorge syndrome. We report a vestibular labyrinthine malformation demonstrated with computed tomographic scan in a patient with a palatal cleft and a 22q11.2 deletion presenting as velocardiofacial syndrome.
