Background. Odontodysplasia is an uncommon condition. It can be localised or generalised, isolated or part of a syndrome.Case Report. We first report the case of an 8.5-year-old boy who presented with abnormally shaped teeth and multiple intraoral abscesses. Findings of clinical and radiographic examinations were consistent with those of generalised odontodysplasia. A 2-step, conservative treatment plan was executed with a 10-year followup. Step 1 was root canal treatment of nonvital teeth. Step 2 was crowning without preparation of new vital, erupted, and malformed teeth. The second case is that of a 12-year-old girl who presented with lack of teeth in the upper-left quadrant. The impacted teeth were exposed surgically, and fixed restoration was performed for temporary aesthetic improvement.Conclusion. Instead of tooth extraction, an approach previously used in similar cases, conservative management is feasible and offers better prosthetic treatment options for the future.

Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare disorder with defects in two or more of the following structures: the teeth and the skin and its appendages including hair, nails, eccrine, and sebaceous glands. Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is the most common type of disease. This rare disorder, also known as Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome, manifests as a triad of hypotrichosis, asteatosis, and anhidrosis. In view of the rarity of this entity, a classical case of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is reported. We have also provided a review of recent investigations in the area of dental abnormalities in this syndrome.

This case report illustrates peculiarities of the clinical course of congenital adrenal cortical dysfunction in adult patients presenting with the salt-losing form of the disease. Analysis of this case confirmed the necessity of dynamic observation of adults with this pathology in order to avoid complications that are likely to develop in case of inadequate treatment.

1. Our experience with a six-year-old boy who had diarrhea, urethritis, conjunctivitis and arthritis is presented as a classical case of Reiter's syndrome. The patient recovered fully in a period of five months and has remained well during the past five years. 2. The cause of Reiter's syndrome remains unknown but in children may be related to Flexner bacillus dysentery. 3. The disease in children is usually less severe than in adults and all 11 children reported have recovered. The recent literature is reviewed. 4. Treatment with antibiotics is of no value and steroid therapy has not prevented exacerbations nor shortened the course of the disease. 5. The nongonococcal triad of urethritis, conjunctivitis, and arthritis is a distinct clinicopathologic entity which differs from known infections and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

ABSTRACT Aim To highlight a rare case of a congenital midline cervical cleft (CMCC) in context with embryological theories/hypothesis, presentation, and management along with review of literature. Introduction Congenital midline cervical cleft is a rare but interesting anterior neck anomaly with controversial theories/ hypothesis regarding its embryogenesis. Case report We describe here a classical case of midline cervical cleft that presented at birth with a cephalocaudal orientation, extending from the level below the hyoid bone to the suprasternal notch with a length of 3 cm and width of 0.5 cm. At 6 months of age, the lesion was excised and closure was done by multiple Z-plasty, with satisfactory results. Discussion Although the diagnosis is clinical, it is frequently misdiagnosed. The associated clinical features could include thyroglossal duct cysts, cleft lip/mandible/sternum, cervical contractures, mandibular spurs, microgenia, and/or bronchogenic cysts. If it is not treated at an early age, it can result in complications like webbing of the neck, dental malocclusion, and restricted neck movements. Conclusion Earliest recognition of CMCC and proper intervention can provide better esthetic and functional prognosis. Clinical significance A correct earlier recognition of the lesion and appropriate surgical management are key to avoid longterm complications.
