Middle and Inner Ear Malformation in Children With Velocardiofacial Syndrome

Middle and inner ear malformations on two boys with velocardiofacial syndrome are discussed.Special attention should be given to the presence of hearing loss due to middle and inner ear malformations, in addition to frequent conductive hearing loss regarding mastoid and middle ear inflammatory processes.
