Atypical Hallerman-Streif syndrome: a case report

Abstract

Hallerman Streif syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by dyscephaly, dental anomalies, proportionate nazism, hypotrichosis, cutaneous atrophy limited to the head, bilateral congenital cataracts and bilateral microphthalmia. Despite the marked craniofacial characteristics and oral findings, a relative lack of reports in the dental literature has been noted. In this article, a case of a 8 year old boy with dental problems is described.
