Abstract EN
Nager syndrome is a rare syndrome resulting from developmental abnormalities of the first and second branchial arches.
Nager syndrome is rare and mostly sporadic.
The main clinical features consist of craniofacial, limb, and musculoskeletal morphogenesis.
These findings included malar hypoplasia, maxillomandibular hypoplasia, micrognathia, downslanting palpebral fissures, cleft palate, ear anomalies, hypoplastic thumb, short forearm, proximal radioulnar synostosis, atrial septal defect, lower limb deformities, and flat nasal bridge.
The prevalence is unknown; about 100 cases of Nager syndrome have been published up to now.
Patients with Nager syndrome are found worldwide among all racial and ethnic groups.
Trismus and glossoptosis resulting in oropharyngeal airway narrowing cause life-threatening respiratory distress for patients with Nager syndrome.
In this case report, dental rehabilitation of a 10-year-old child with Nager syndrome is presented.
