Introduction: To document through a case report the ENT manifestations of the STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI) syndrome, remarking their value to achieve the diagnosis.

Case Summary: A man in his forties presented with exercise-related dyspnoea and cold-exacerbated painful lesions over the nasal tip, cheeks, ears, and feet since his early childhood. The ENT manifestations included cartilaginous necrosis (both auricles and nasal tip) and a 1-cm anterior septal perforation. A familiar inheritance pattern was evident and genetic studies confirmed the diagnosis of a SAVI syndrome. Therapy with JAK inhibitors was implemented, resulting in a favorable response.

Discussion: SAVI syndrome is a recently described disease with recognizable otolaryngologic manifestations that may be key to clinical suspicion and genetic diagnosis.
