Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a rare hereditary disease of unknown etiology which was previously known as cleidocranial dysotosis. It usually follows an autosomal dominant mode of transmission. The phenotype is characterized by general dysplastic bone formation manifested by abnormalities in the shoulder girdle, skull, jaw and dentition. We report a case of a six year old female child presenting with classical features of CCD. An outstanding feature of this case is that it did not follow a familial pattern of inheritance since the patient is the only member in the family suffering from such disorder. The clinician should be aware of the characteristic features of CCD for early diagnosis and initiating the appropriate treatment. The clinical, radiological findings and its embryological cause are discussed. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njms.v1i2.6615 Nepal Journal of Medical Sciences. 2012;1(2): 135-7

The results showed positive correlation between curve of spee and curve of Wilson. The data found in this study can be applied clinically for Class I and Class II malocclusion patients on diagnosis and treatment planning.

Orbital injuries are often missed out when they occur concomitantly with other facial bone fractures. Clinical examination and plain radiographic findings alone may prove inadequate in the detection of orbital floor fractures. Refined imaging techniques like CT scans and MRI are immensely helpful in the diagnosis of orbital blowout fractures. A case of 'impure' orbital blowout fracture which went undetected at the time of initial examination and its secondary surgical reconstruction is reported here. This case report emphasizes the importance of careful clinical and radiologic evaluation in orbital injuries.
