Oral Manifestations of Apert Syndrome – a Case Report

Apert syndrome, also referred to as acrocephalosyndactyly, is characterized by malformation of the skull, hands, and feet, leading to dysmorphic facial features. It is a rare hereditary autosomal dominant condition, which occurs exclusively as a result of paternal advanced age. The aim of this study is to report the case of an 11-year-old female patient, who presented at our service with a complaint regarding tooth positioning. Her mother reported that she had already undergone choanal atresia surgery and craniectomy 2 times.
