[Syndromes 22. Rieger's syndrome].
Rieger syndrome is a rare autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by defects of the anterior chamber of the eye, failure of the periumbilical skin to involute, and developmental malformations of the dentition. Recognition of the dental anomalies may result in the early diagnosis of this syndrome and prevent progressive visual loss.
