Basal cell nevus syndrome presenting as a tender mass of the jaw: A case report

[A case of basal cell nevus syndrome].

A case of basal cell nevus syndrome is reported. The patient, a 25-year-old man, had no family history of this condition. The patient showed multiple mandibular cysts, calcification of the falx cerebri, bridging of the sella turcica, ocular hypertelorimsm, a broad nasal root, and pitting of the palms. These findings correlate with reports in the literature and permitted the diagnosis of basal c...

Basal cell nevus syndrome. A case report.

An 11-year-old boy with multiple dentigerous cysts in the maxilla and mandible is described. Other findings seen in the face, plantar skin, skeletal system and oral cavity indicated the lesions to be due to the basal cell nevus syndrome.

Maxillary Distraction Osteogenesis

Background: Distraction Osteogenesis is popular for long bones. And nowadays it has found its role in facial bone deficiency treatments. Purpose: We used our special designed Distractor for advancement of Maxillary deficiencies in cleft lip and palate patients. The purpose of this paper is to compare the treatment of hypoplastic, posteriorly retruded maxillary of cleft palate patients using dis...

Maxillary Tuberosity Reconstruction with Transport Distraction Osteogenesis

Severe bone loss due to pathology in the maxillary tuberosity region is a challenging problem both surgically and prosthetically. Large bone grafts have a poor survival rate due to the delicate bony architecture in this area and presence of the maxillary sinus. Our case presentation describes a new technique for reconstructing severe bony defect in the maxillary tuberosity with horizontal distr...
