HLHS
by Laurie, Aug 13, 2000 12:00AM
I have a cousin who was diagnosed with HLHS (hypoplastic Lt.heart syndrome)She is now 11 years old. She has some skeletal abnormalities like low set ears, wide set eyes and protruding chin. She is also small for her age, very petite. They were told this is associated with HLHS. I haven't found anything that supports this. Do you know of any skeletal abnormalities associated with HLHS? Thank you for your time.
