Abstract: We describe a case of a 7-year-old child with Down syndrome who presented with loud snoring and cessation of breath during sleep and was found to have a large calculus(20mm×12mm×12mm)in her left tonsil by CT scan for which tonsillectomy with adenoidectomy were done.This is one of the youngest reported cases in the literature.
