저자는 ARS를 가진 15세 여자 환아에 대한 임상적, 방사선학적 관찰을 통해 다음과 같은 지견을 얻었다. 1. 환아는 Axenfeld-Rieger Syndrome의 안과적 증상인 전안부 형성부전을 나타낸다. 2. 환아의 구강 및 구개악안면 소견으로 다수의 영구치 결손 및 왜소치, 상악 형성 부전, 구치부의 반대교합이 관찰되었다. 3. 환아의 성장에 따른 주기적인 치과적 검진과 추가적인 치료가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS) is a rare disorder with variable morphology characterized by malformations of the anterior segment of the eye such as iris hypoplasia, iridocorneal adhesions, corectopia and polycoria. Craniofacial and dental anomalies are also regularly reported in connection with ARS. Dental features include hypodontia in primary and permanent dentition, microdontia, short roots and abnormally shaped teeth. The patient in this case is a 14-year-old girl who has visited Seoul National Dental Hospital in 2002 for the first time. A panorama was taken on the day of her first visit, and total absence of maxillary anterior dentition and mandibular premolars were observed. The patient was on a treatment schedule by the department of ophthalmology at Seoul National Hospital for a morphological dyplasia of the pupil and she was diagnosed with ARS. Periodic panoramic observations were performed followingly, and she was finally diagnosed of congenital missing of maxillary anteriors and mandibular second premolars. In 2009, composite resin build-ups of maxillary primary central incisors were performed, and she has been on her regular follow-ups until now.
