title: [The dentomaxillofacial characteristics of the Prader-Labhart-Willi syndrome. A clinical case report].
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.
