Clinical, radiographic, diagnostic and cephalometric features of pycnodysostosis in comparison with Turkish cephalometric norms: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pycnodysostosis is a rare genetic disorder and was first described in 1962 by Maroteaux and Lamy. The incidence of this anomaly is estimated to be 1.7 per 1 million births. The principal characteristics of this disorder are short stature, prominent eyes with blue sclera, beaked nose, cranial dysplasia, exposed fontanelles and cranial sutures, clavicular dysplasia, total/partial dysplasia of the terminal phalanges, obtused mandibular gonial angle, and generally increased bone density. Some features of pycnodysostosis are similar to osteopetrosis and cleidocranial dysostosis. Therefore, it must be distinguished from osteopetrosis and cleidocranial dysostosis in order to diagnose it in individuals of a younger age.The aims of this case report were to show the clinical, radiographic, and diagnostic features, as well as the cephalometric characteristics of pycnodysostosis in comparison with Turkish cephalometric norms.
