A case of Coffin–Lowry syndrome with premature exfoliation of primary teeth

Abstract: We present a case of a 5-year-old boy with premature exfoliation of primary teeth. All eight primary incisors had exfoliated by the age of 3 years, and three canines and one primary first molar were subsequently lost when he was 4 years old. None of the exfoliated teeth exhibited caries. The boy also showed characteristic facial changes, tapering of the fingers, and mental and motor retardation. Based on these findings, he was diagnosed as having Coffin-Lowry syndrome. Premature exfoliation of primary teeth in… Show more

“…The boy in this case had typical facial characteristics of CLS, but of the oral signs, he only presented with thick, prominent lips, small incisors, and early tooth loss. There are several previous reports on premature loss of teeth in CLS 2–4 but this is only the second report of hypoplastic root cementum as a plausible explanation, thus confirming the finding by Day et al. 2 In the report by Hartsfield et al.…”

“…Coffin–Lowry syndrome is a rare genetic disorder. Affected children show signs of mental retardation, short stature, thick hands with tapering fingers, and characteristic facial features such as marked hypertelorism, thick lips, large nose with broad base, short upturned nostrils, and protuberant ears [ 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Hartsfield et al suggested that sensorineural hearing deficits may also be a manifestation of CLS [ 31 ].…”
