A case of chondroectodermal dysplasia (Ellis-van Creveld syndrome) with a remarkable number of the classic oral and dental changes is described. This syndrome involves all embryonic tissue layers and is polysymptomatic; yet some oral and dental manifestations are pathognomonic and must be considered in primary diagnostic criteria. However, in some patients, these oral and dental manifestations ...

We describe two children with multiple abnormalities, neither of whom fits neatly into a classical diagnostic category, but who show overlapping features of Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, Jeune syndrome, and renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia. It seems possible that these three entities form part of a disease spectrum rather than being distinct conditions.

Two individuals showing features typical of the autosomal recessive Ellis-van Creveld syndrome have been diagnosed in a population of 1340 individuals living on a small island off the west coast of Scotland. Clinical features and family relationships of the affected individuals are described.

Ellis-van Creveld (EVC) syndrome is a form of skeletal and chondroectodermal dysplasia, occurring with and without systemic involvement. Taurodontism of permanent and primary molars and upper posterior supernumerary teeth are rarely associated with this syndrome. A 5-year-old girl presented with early childhood caries and hypodontia. She had labiogingival adhesion, labiogingival frenulum hypert...
