A case report on the oral manifestations of Stüve-Wiedemann syndrome
Abstract
Stüve-Wiedemann Syndrome is a rare genetic condition identified in a limited number of patients, transmitted in an autosomal recessive manner and characterized by neuro-myo-skeletal deformities. Affected newborns frequently do not survive beyond one year due to life-threatening complications. Dental practitioners should be aware of this syndrome and its oral and maxillofacial manifestations to ensure accurate diagnosis, prevent treatment-related complications, and achieve effective treatment planning. Today, early identification and appropriate genetic testing contribute to a marked increase in the lifespan of survivors.
