Abstract
The authors describe the clinical and cephalometric characteristics of a case of Prader-Labhart-Willi syndrome (obesity, hypogonadism, oligophrenia, hypotonia, small hands and feet). Taurodontism and enamel-dentine dysplasia are reported as the main dental features. The craniofacial region shows an increased bony interorbital distance and a low level of the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone. The possibility that these anomalies could be related to the etiopathogenesis of the syndrome is discussed.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
