Title: Syndrome of Hajdu-Cheney: three case reports of orofacial interest. Author: Vingerhoedt E, Bailleul-Forestier I, Fellus P, Schoenaers J, Frijns JP, Carels C. Journal: Cleft Palate Craniofac J; 2010 Nov; 47(6):645-53. PubMed ID: 20500061. Abstract: Hajdu-Cheney syndrome is a rare, probably autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder with a variable expressivity. It is characterized by an osteoporotic skeleton, acro-osteolysis, a proportionate short stature, and distinctive orofacial anomalies. The aim of this article is to focus on the orofacial manifestations in two sporadic cases and one familial case with Hajdu-Cheney syndrome. Several common dental and craniofacial features are described. In contrast to earlier proposed diagnostic features, these patients show persisting deciduous teeth, problematic tooth eruption, and tendency toward a Class III malocclusion.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
