Pseudohypoparathyroidism: case report

A patient with pseudohypoparathyroidism is presented. The phenotypic appearance, known as Albright heredity osteodystrophy includes: short stature, round face, brachydactylia, and ectopic calcifications in the soft tissues. Dental manifestations reported in the literature are enamel hypoplasia, hypodontia, malformed roots, enlarged pulp chambers, microdontia, and pulp calcifications. Additional findings in this case are ankylosis and an enlarged frontal sinus. The delayed diagnosis of pseudohypoparathyroidism with the early presentation of multiple dental anomalies is discussed.
