[Severe vitamin C deficiency and oral pathology. Apropos a case report of Barlow's disease].
Vitamin C deficiency is an exceptional findings but emphasis is placed on the need for detection of latent minimally symptomatic and intricate cases, as illustrated by a 3 1/2 year old child with a latent form of Barlow's disease. Although results of biologic tests were fairly typical, clinical signs were restricted to hypotrophy, gingivostomatitis and proctorrhagia. A literature review failed to determine whether or not specific oral manifestations could be associated with Barlow's disease.
