abstract

  • Cleidocranial dysostosis is a rare embryopathy affecting the whole osseous system. Anomalies predominate on skull, chest and dentition but the whole skeleton can be affected especially pelvic girdle and spine. An autosomal transmission is often demonstrable; isolated forms are very uncommon. We present two cases fortuitously diagnosed in our ward: a familial cleidocraniopelvic major form and an incomplete isolated form. The treatment must be especially oriented towards dental malformations.
