Kenny-caffey syndrome: a case report and a review of the literature

Kenny-Caffey syndrome (KCS) is a rare inherited disorder, with only 65 cases reported between 1966 and 2012, almost exclusively in Middle Eastern populations. The syndrome is characterized by a multitude of signs and symptoms, including severe growth retardation, hypocalcemia associated with hypoparathyroidism, skeletal and facial deformities, thickened cortices of long bones, and medullary stenosis. In addition to skeletal and endocrine abnormalities, dental and maxillofacial anomalies are common in KCS, with features including, but not limited to, micrognathia, generalized hypodontia, delayed eruption, dental caries, and gingivitis.
