Abstract

Lowe syndrome is X-linked gene disorder, characterized by cataracts, renal dysfunction and brain abnormalities. Oral healthcare of young patients with Lowe syndrome could be easily neglected due to the uncooperative behavior or other systemic condition of the child. We are presenting a case of successful treatment under general anesthesia with uncooperative child with Lowe syndrome. A 3-year old boy with Lowe syndrome visited Seoul National University Dental Hospital for multiple caries. He had been suffering from congenital cataract, medullary nephrocalcinosis and hypotonia. Multiple caries were observed from clinical and radiographic examination. Concerning behavior management problem and possibility of aspiration due to hypotonia, dental treatment under general anesthesia was planned. Left upper primary first molar was extracted to prevent further infection. Other teeth were treated with Stainless steel crown or composite resin restoration based upon the extent and the severity of dental caries. Under general anesthesia, dental procedure was carried out successfully and safely. Considering uncooperative behavior and other medical conditions of the patient, general anesthesia could be effective. Home oral care and periodic visit to dental clinic should be emphasized to the caregiver of patient with Lowe syndrome, considering the susceptibility of dental caries and other oral manifestation.

저자는 백내장, 지적장애, 신수질 석회화(medullary nephrocalcinosis), 근 긴장저하 증상을 보이는 로웨 증후군 환아의 다발성 치아우식 치료를 시행하였다. 협조도 부족 및 근 긴장저하로 인한 흡인 가능성을 고려하여 전신마취 하 술식을 진행하였다. 치료 결과의 유지를 위하여 적절한 구강위생 관리가 중요하며 향후 나타날 수 있는 구강내 증상의 진단과 관리를 위해 정기적이 검진이 필요하다.
