OBJECTIVES: The 22q11 microdeletion is a chromosomal disorder detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). It has been known since the 80s, and is involved in many malformative syndromes (DiGeorge sequence, VCFS syndrome, etc.). Airway abnormalities are frequently localized in the larynx, as reported in the following series. METHODS: A retrospective chart review of laryngeal abnormalities and 22q11 deletion in a tertiary referral center. RESULTS: Five cases of laryngeal abnormalities associated to 22q11 deletion syndrome (DS) were found in a series of 35 cases. Abnormalities encountered were subglottic stenosis (3%), glottic web (9%), laryngeal paralysis (9%), vocal nodule (3%), laryngomalacia (3%) associated with bronchial malposition (3%). CONCLUSION: Laryngeal abnormalities are relatively common (14% in this series) and important to recognize with the 22q11 deletion syndrome, especially if cardiac surgery is planed. Conversely, in case of laryngeal abnormalities associated to other malformation (like facial dysmorphia or cardiac malformation), the 22q11 deletion must be searched. |
