Berry syndrome: A case report and review of literature

Abstract

Berry syndrome or Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is an autosomal dominant disorder of craniofacial development with variable expressivity. The most common manifestations of TCS are the antimongoloid slanting of the palpebral fissures, colobomas of the lower eyelids, hypoplasia of zygoma and mandible, and various ear abnormalities. This article explains the clinical and radiographic features of TCS in a 14-year-old male, who had reported to the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, and reports the mild expressivity which can be seen in TCS. It also signifies that other abnormalities such as tongue tie and congenitally missing mandibular anteriors may be seen in this syndrome.
