Seckel Dwarfism-A Rare Autosomal Recessive Inherited Syndrome: A Case Report

Seckel syndrome, also commonly called Seckel dwarfism, is a rare congenital disorder and always associated with severe growth retardation in utero. This retarded growth lingers on and causes serious developmental deformities ensuing to short stature, microcephaly, mental retardation, and a beak-like nose. This case report intends to present an interesting case of a 14-year-old female patient with various clinical manifestations, typical radiographic features, and characteristic dental manifestations correlated with the literature. A detailed understanding of the present case would assist pediatric dentists in correct and prompt diagnosis, precise treatment, and the prevention of severe consequences caused by Seckel syndrome.
