The cardiovascular anomaly include congenital heart defects, long- and short-stenotic stenosis of the aorta and peripheral arteries, pericardial effusion, constrictive pericarditis, restrictive cardiomyopathy, and hypertension. The involvement of the respiratory system shows choanal stenosis, laryngotracheal narrowing, obstructive airway disease, and restrictive pulmonary disease. A pyloric stenosis is often seen and surely a reason for early surgery. The onset of the disease is at infancy or early childhood.
