Abstract
Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome(WHS) is a congenital disorder caused by deletions of the short arm of chromosome 4. The most common characteristics are mental and growth retardation, dietary disorder and craniofacial features with a characteristic 'Greek warrior helmet' appearance. The dental characteristic of WHS includes delayed development, tooth agenesis, clefts, microdontia, taurodontism, and severely worn dentition. The purpose of this case report is to describe the dental treatment of a patient with WHS. 3-year-old boy with WHS visited the Seoul National University Dental Hospital for dental treatment. He had difficulty with nasotracheal intubation because of craniofacial anomalies and also had poor oral hygiene due to a limitation of mouth opening and dietary disorder. Due to his airway problem, behavior management and severity of dental conditions, dental treatment was performed under general anesthesia. This case suggests general anesthesia can be chosen with WolfHirschhorn syndrome patients to safely care for their dental problems.
