Triple A syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterised by alacrimia, achalasia and adrenal failure. It was first reported by Allgrove in 1978 and 100 cases have been reported worldwide. This case report concerns a 24-year-old woman who was referred for evaluation of dysphagia and was finally diagnosed as such a case. A high degree of suspicion enables all the components of this syndrome to be searched for, as early diagnosis can reduce the morbidity and mortality.

Biotinidase deficiency (BTD) is hereditary autosomal recessive disorder with higher morbidity and mortality if left untreated. We report this case to increase awareness about BTD, presenting with infantile seizures, encephalopathy with high anion gap metabolic acidosis, eczema and to emphasize the importance of early diagnosis in reversal of metabolic acidosis and seizures refractory to multiple anticonvulsants with biotin replacement.

AbstractSpondylo-ocular syndrome (SOS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder and affects primarily ocular and spinal tissues. This case report presents an Omani child with a novel homozygous variant, c.2070 G > A (p.Trp690Ter) in XYLT2 associated with SOS for the first time. Oman and other Middle East countries have a high consanguine marriage rate. Our case report will increase knowledge of SOS syndrome to be able to provide genetic diagnosis and counseling for other family members and families as well as prenatal diagnostics for the future pregnancies.

Meckel gruber syndrome or dysencephalia splanchnocystica, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by failure of mesodermal induction. Worldwide incidence of MGS is 1 per 13,500-140,000 live births. It is characterized by triad of occipital Meningoencephalocele, polycystic kidneys and post-axial polydactyly. Most fetuses affected with this syndrome die before birth due to oligohydramnios, renal failure or pulmonary hypoplasia. We report a rare case of MGS who delivered live at birth with classical features.

Escobar syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder which is characterized by growth retardation, axillary, antecubital, popliteal digital, and intercrural joint flexion contracture, pterygium in the eyes, cleft palate, decreased lung capacity, genital abnormalities, and spinal deformity. In this case, we presented the anesthesic management of a 2-year-old child undergoing frontal sling operation for ptosis and amblyopia etiology exploration.

Kartagener`s syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disorder is a type of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) associated situs inversus, bronchiectasis, sinusitis and male infertility. We present a case of a 5-year-old girl who came with features of bilateral glue ear, recurrent sinusitis, recurrent hemoptysis and dextrocardia. She was diagnosed to have Kartagener`s syndrome and was evaluated for recurrent hemoptysis.

Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder associated with rapidly progressing periodontitis leading to premature loss of deciduous and permanent dentition and diffuse palmoplantar keratosis. Immunologic alterations, genetic mutations, and role of bacteria are some aetiologic factors. Patients present with early periodontal destruction, so periodontists play a significant role in diagnosis and management. This paper reports a case of Papillon- Lefevre syndrome with its clinical manifestations and challenges for periodontal management which was diagnosed in dental department.

Haim-Munk syndrome is an extremely rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized clinically by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, aggressive periodontitis with severe alveolar bone destruction, onychogryphosis, pes planus, arachnodactyly, and acro-osteolysis. Consanguinity seems a notable prerequisite. The aim of this study was therefore to report one case of this syndrome and to focus on the periodontal manifestations, in order to attract the attention of dental clinicians to this rare anomaly.

Congenital hypotrichosis and Stargardt macular dystrophy are rare autosomal recessive disorder of unk nown etiology respectively characterized by hair loss, macular degeneration and severe progressive vision reduc tion. There are few reports in the literature with this association. Studies show that the defective gene is on the chro mosome I6q22.1 and involve cadherin molecule in the pathogenesis. Early recognition of these disorders often starts with hair changes and should alert the dermatologist for an eye examination thereby avoiding more severe ocular defect.

The APECED syndrome (autoimmune polyendocrinopathy, candidosis, ectodermal dystrophy) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that develops in early childhood and results in tissue-specific multiorgan autoimmunity, leading to the hypofunction of multiple glands. Is clinically defined as the presence of at least two components of the classic triad of hypoparathyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, and mucocutaneous candidiasis. We report a case in a child, illustrating the importance of dermatological disorders.
