Scheuthauer-Marie-Sainton syndrome

Scheuthauer-Marie-Sainton syndrome also known as Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an autosomal dominant disorder characteristically presented with multiple supernumerary teeth; partial or complete absence of the clavicles; and open sagittal sutures and fontanelles. This condition was first reported by Meckel in 1760. There is also evidence that it existed in the prehistoric man. More than 1,000 cases have been reported in the medical literature regarding this syndrome. A case of a 35-year-male of CCD with multiple supernumerary teeth is being reported. The diagnostic and management aspects of this syndrome are discussed.
