title: Velocardiofacial syndrome with facial and pinna asymmetries.
abstract: This study reports some of the most important clinical features of the velocardiofacial syndrome (hypoplastic zygomatic arch, prominent nose with square nasal root, bilateral epicanthus, downslanting palpebral fissures, and learning disabilities) in a Brazilian boy presenting face and pinna asymmetries. These findings may facilitate the diagnosis of this syndrome.
