title: Oculodentodigital syndrome: report of a case.
abstract: The clinical and radiographic changes in a case of oculodentodigital syndrome are presented. The characteristic features of this rare developmental disorder, microphthalmus with microcornea and iris anomalies, hypertelorism, thin nose with hypoplastic alae and anteverted nostrils, syndactyly with camptodactyly and clinodactyly of the fourth and fifth fingers associated with bony anomalies of the middle phalanges of the fifth fingers and toes, were all present. In addition, histological examination of a lateral incisor showed the enamel dysplasia to be due to enamel hypoplasia; the dentine also showed marked hypocalcification. There were widespread pulp denticles and hypercementosis throughout the dentition. Both the patient and his mother had coronoid hypoplasia.
