Abstract
A case of cor pulmonale is reported, due to chronic nasopharyngeal obstruction by hypertrophied tonsils and adenoids. This syndrome is characterized by stridor, somnolence, arterial hypoxia and hypercarbia, pulmonary and right heart failure. The pathogenesis of this syndrome is due to pulmonary hypoventilation. After tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy the symptoms disappeared.
