Abstract
Thanopoulos, B., Ikkos, D. D., Milingos, M. and Foutakis, D. (Haemodynamic Laboratory and the Paediatric Department, Piraeus General Hospital, Nikea, Piraeus, Greece). Cardiorespiratory syndrome due to enlarged tonsils and adenoids. Acta Paediatr Scand, 74:659, 1975.–A case of cardiorespiratory syndrome secondary to chronic upper airway obstruction from hypertrophied tonsils and adenoids, involving a three‐year‐old boy, is presented. The haemodynamic changes were verified by heart catheterization. The possible role of steroids in the treatment of the syndrome is suggested.Keywords
