TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Myhre Syndrome A1 - Bissonnette, Bruno A1 - Luginbuehl, Igor A1 - Engelhardt, Thomas PY - 2019 T2 - Syndromes: Rapid Recognition and Perioperative Implications, 2e AB - It is a syndrome characterized by laryngotracheal stenosis, mental retardation, short stature, maxillary hypoplasia, prognathism, severe midface hypoplasia, short palpebral fissures, short philtrum, microstomia, generalized muscle hypertrophy, decreased joint mobility, cryptorchidism, cardiac anomaly, and sensorineural deafness. The cardiovascular anomaly include congenital heart defects, long- and short-stenotic stenosis of the aorta and peripheral arteries, pericardial effusion, constrictive pericarditis, restrictive cardiomyopathy, and hypertension. The involvement of the respiratory system shows choanal stenosis, laryngotracheal narrowing, obstructive airway disease, and restrictive pulmonary disease. A pyloric stenosis is often seen and surely a reason for early surgery. The onset of the disease is at infancy or early childhood.
