Impact of Cranial Base Abnormalities on Cerebellar Volume and the Velopharynx in 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome

Abstract

This study supports previous findings on anatomical differences among individuals with 22q11DS and has expanded our current understanding of the potential relationship between craniofacial and VP variables in at least a subset of children with 22q11DS. Results provide preliminary insights into the potential relationship between a decrease in cerebellar volume, obtuse cranial base angles, and unfavorable VP dimensions.
