title: New airway and swallow manifestations of Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome.
abstract: Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome (SGBS) is an X-linked disorder of overgrowth associated with multiple congenital malformations. We report on a child with typical facial and visceral manifestations of SGBS. In addition there were complex airway anomalies, swallow difficulties and associated bronchiectasis that have not previously been described. The case highlights the importance of comprehensive airway and swallow assessment in children with this overgrowth syndrome.
