Cleidocranial Dysplasia Affecting Three Generations in a Family: A Unique Case Report

Abstract

Cleidocranial Dysplasia (CCD) is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome that occurs in approximately 1 per million individuals worldwide. This syndrome is characterized by skeletal, orofacial, and dental manifestations like hypoplastic or aplastic clavicle, shoulder hypermobility, patent or delayed closure of fontanelles, and multiple impacted supernumerary teeth with delayed eruption pattern. Early diagnosis and management with a comprehensive team approach are crucial for an overall better prognosis. In this paper, we describe three generations of cleidocranial dysplasia presented in the same family with their clinical features and treatment strategies.
