lüll Craniofacial and dental manifestations of Proteus syndrome: a case report Becktor KB; Becktor JP; Karnes PS; Keller EECleft Palate Craniofac J 2002[Mar]; 39 (2): 233-45The Proteus syndrome is a rare congenital hamartomatous condition that is characterized by a wide range of malformations, sometimes involving the face. Common manifestations include partial gigantism, congenital lipomas, and plantar hyperplasia. In this report we describe the craniofacial clinicopathological development in a girl with Proteus syndrome from age 6 to 20 years. The patient had pronounced hemifacial hypertrophy, exostoses in the left parietal region, and enlargement of the inferior alveolar nerve and mandibular canal in the affected region. The dental development of the affected left mandible and maxilla was characterized by extremely premature development and eruption of the primary and permanent teeth and by pronounced idiopathic root resorptions. The multidisciplinary management of the patient and the treatment outcome is reported. A review of the Proteus patients in the literature who exhibited manifestation in the craniofacial region is presented.|Adolescent[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Bone Diseases/*etiology[MESH]|Cephalometry[MESH]|Child[MESH]|Exostoses/etiology[MESH]|Facial Asymmetry/etiology[MESH]|Facial Bones/*pathology[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Follow-Up Studies[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hypertrophy[MESH]|Mandible/pathology[MESH]|Mandibular Nerve/pathology[MESH]|Odontogenesis/physiology[MESH]|Orthodontics, Corrective[MESH]|Osteotomy, Le Fort[MESH]|Parietal Bone/pathology[MESH]|Proteus Syndrome/*complications[MESH]|Radiography, Panoramic[MESH]|Root Resorption/etiology[MESH]|Tooth Diseases/*etiology[MESH]|Tooth Eruption/physiology[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH] |
