Cardioauditory Syndrome Of Sanchez Cascos

A 'new' cardioauditory syndrome was found in 12 deaf children by Sanchez-Cascos et al. (1969). All but 2 had x-ray evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy. Most had electrocardiographic changes of biventricular hypertrophy and showed a high proportion of whorls in the dermatoglyphs. One of the 12 was a girl. One of the parental pairs was consanguineous. Six of the 12 were in 3 sibships.
