OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prevalence of dental agenesis and its possible association with other developmental dental anomalies and systemic entities. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION Descriptive transversal study, for which 1518 clinical records, of patients visited by the Odontological Service of the Primary Health Centre of Cassà de la Selva (Girona-Spain) between December 2002 and February 2...

The clinical manifestations of coronary artery anomalies vary in severity, with some anomalies causing severe symptoms and cardiovascular sequelae and others being benign. Cardiovascular computed tomography (CT) has emerged as the standard of reference for identification and characterization of coronary artery anomalies. Therefore, it is important for the reader of cardiovascular CT images to b...

PURPOSE The aim of this work was to present a clinical picture of congenital defects in the anterior and posterior segment of the eye and coexisting systemic developmental anomalies in a group of children during the infantile period. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis in a group of 1507 infants seen at our outpatient ophthalmology clinic in 2006-2010. Attention was foc...

BACKGROUND The relationship between dental anomalies and periodontitis has not been documented by earlier studies. Although psychological factors have been implicated in the etiopathogenesis of periodontitis, very little information has so far been published about the association of anxiety and depression with aggressive periodontitis.

Congenital anomalies of the optic disc underlie many cases of decreased vision, strabismus, and nystagmus in childhood. A comprehensive evaluation necessitates an understanding of the ophthalmoscopic features, associated neuro-ophthalmologic findings, pathogenesis, and appropriate ancillary studies for each anomaly. The subclassification of different forms of “colobomatous” defects on the basis...

The case histories of two brothers are presented in whom the majority of permanent teeth have failed to erupt. Defective enamel development is present in addition to other anomalies of the teeth and jaws. Neither boy had any concomitant systemic condition. There was no family history of these anomalies and a third brother had a normal dentition. The report describes the clinical course of this ...
