Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome
In Saethre-Chotzen syndrome the ears may be low set, posteriorly rotated, have other minor anomalies, and there may be a presence of a conductive hearing loss or a mixed hearing loss (Perterson-Falszone, 2001). Hearing loss in this group can also be caused by middle ear disease when a cleft palate is present (http://www.worldcf.org/chotzen.cfm).

Famous quotes containing the word syndrome:
“[T]he syndrome known as life is too diffuse to admit of palliation. For every symptom that is eased, another is made worse. The horse leech’s daughter is a closed system. Her quantum of wantum cannot vary.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
