Russell-Silver syndrome (RSS) is a congenital disease characterized by short stature due to growth hormone deficiency, physical asymmetry, inverted triangular face, micrognathia, prominent forehead, and hypodontia. This case report presents a prosthetic management of a 6-year-old patient with Russell-Silver syndrome treated with overdentures on the maxilla and the mandible using the remaining primary teeth. Subsequent and comprehensive dental management considering the growth and development of a young patient will be necessary.

1. 러셀-실버 증후군 환아는 특징적인 소구증 및 유아기의 섭식 장애를 보이므로, 출생 후 필요시설소대 절제술을 고려해야 하며 특별히 고안된 구강위생 용품이 구강위생 증진에 도움이 될 수 있다. 2. 러셀-실버 증후군 환아의 우식 치료 시 개구량이 확보되지 않으므로 근육 이완을 위해 전신마취를 고려해야 하며, 소형의 핸드피스 및 버와 같은 기구들을 사용하여 접근하는 것이 치료를 수월케 하며 환아의 불편감을 감소시킬 수 있다.

러셀-실버 증후군(Russell-Silver syndrome)은 출생시 저신장, 편측성 비대칭과 성기관 발육의 다양성 및 그 외 cafe-aulait 반점, 만지증 등의 특징과 태아기부터 발현되는 성장지연을 보이는 질환이다. 이 신드롬과 관련된 안면 특징은 작고 삼각형의 얼굴과 짧은 안면고경, 구각부가 아래로 쳐진 입모양(shark's mouth) 작은 하악골과 흔히 좌우 비대칭이 있는 것이다. 현재까지 보고되고 있는 러셀-실버 증후군의 주요한 구강내 소견은 높은 구개궁(high-arched palate), 맹출 지연, 왜소치와 총생이다. 현재까지 세계적으로 약 150 증례가 보고되고 있으나 치의학적으로는 극히 드물다. 본 증례는 출생전 성장지연, 저신장, 저체중 등 임상소견을 통해 러셀-실버 증후군으로 진단받았고 성장호르몬 치료를 받았고, 현재 치료 중이다. 이 두 증례를 통해 러셀-실버 증후군의 구강내 특징을 보고하고, 관련 문헌을 고찰해 보고자 한다.

Epigenetics deals with modifications in gene expression, without altering the underlying DNA sequence. Genomic imprinting is a complex epigenetic phenomenon that refers to parent-of-origin-specific gene expression. Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) and Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) are congenital imprinting disorders with mirror opposite alterations at the genomic loci in 11p15.5 and opposite phenotypes. BWS and SRS are important imprinting disorders with the increase of knowledge of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. Altered expression of the imprinted genes in 11p15.5, especially IGF2 and CDKN1C, affects fetal and postnatal growth. A wide range of imprinting defects at multiple loci, instead of a restricted locus, has been shown in some patients with either BWS or SRS. The development of new high-throughput assays will make it possible to allow accurate diagnosis, personalized therapy, and informative genetic counseling.

Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by intrauterine growth restriction, poor postnatal growth, relative macrocephaly, a triangular face, body asymmetry, and feeding difficulties. It is primarily diagnosed according to a clinical scoring system; however, the clinical diagnosis is confirmed with molecular testing, and the disease is stratified into the specific molecular subtypes. SRS is a genetically heterogeneous condition. The major molecular changes are hypomethylation of imprinting control region 1 in 11p15.5 and maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 7 (UPD(7)mat). Therefore, first-line molecular testing should include methylation-specific approaches for these regions. Here, we report an extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infant with intrauterine growth retardation, postnatal growth retardation, and dysmorphic facial appearance-characteristics consistent with the clinical diagnostic criteria of SRS. Methylation-specific molecular genetic analysis revealed UPD(7)mat, while the loss of heterozygosity was not detected on chromosomal microarray analysis. We present a case of SRS with suspected uniparental heterodisomy of chromosome 7 in an ELBW infant.

Conventional evaluation method for identifying the organic cause of short stature has a low detection rate. If an infant who is small for gestational age manifests postnatal growth deterioration, triangular face, relative macrocephaly, and protruding forehead, a genetic testing of IGF2, H19, GRB10, MEST, CDKN1, CUL7, OBSL1, and CCDC9 should be considered to determine the presence of Silver-Russell syndrome and 3-M syndrome. If a short patient with prenatal growth failure also exhibits postnatal growth failure, microcephaly, low IGF-1 levels, sensorineural deafness, or impaired intellectual development, genetic testing of IGF1 and IGFALS should be conducted. Furthermore, genetic testing of GH1, GHRHR, HESX1, SOX3, PROP1, POU1F1, and LHX3 should be considered if patients with isolated growth hormone deficiency have short stature below -3 standard deviation score, barely detectable serum growth hormone concentration, and other deficiencies of anterior pituitary hormone. In short patients with height SDS <-3 and high growth hormone levels, genetic testing should be considered to identify GHR mutations. Lastly, when severe short patients (height z score <-3) exhibit high levels of prolactin and recurrent pulmonary infection, genetic testing should be conducted to identify STAT5B mutations.

An 8-year-old girl diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy and Russell-Silver syndrome was admitted to our pediatric intensive care unit due to low cardiac output and multiple-organ dysfunction. The patient was placed on the heart transplant waiting list and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was performed as a bridge to transplantation. After 17 days, heart transplantation was performed. The donor was a 46-year-old female (weight, 50 kg; height, 150 cm). The donor:recipient weight ratio was 3.37:1. Because the dimension and volume of the recipient's thoracic cage were insufficient, the sternum could not be closed. Nine days after transplantation, the patient underwent delayed sternal closure. To obtain adequate space, we left the sternum 4.5 cm apart from each margin using four transverse titanium plates. A transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap was chosen to cover the wound. Due to the shortage of donors, a size-mismatched pediatric heart transplantation is sometimes unavoidable. Closure of the opened sternum of a transplant recipient can be challenging. Sternal reconstruction after an extremely oversized heart transplantation with transverse titanium plate fixation and a musculocutaneous flap can effectively achieve sternal closure and stability.
