Patients show signs and symptoms of complex clinical manifestations, ranging from cranial nerve and cerebellar dysfunctions to extracranial abnormalities, which may pose challenges in dental management. This article represents a rare case of a 12-year-old girl with DWS along with the involvement of the oral cavity.
