Floating-Harbor syndrome: case report and craniofacial phenotype characterization.

Floating-Harbor syndrome is a rare genetic disorder of unknown aetiology. It was described for the first time in 1973. The syndrome is characterized mainly by short stature, delay in speech development and characteristic facial features. This article describes a report of a case of the syndrome and emphasizes the oral aspects, including descriptions of soft tissues, teeth, occlusion, stage of dental development and findings on examination of the temporomandibular joint. The treatment provided and its outcome is also described. Hopefully this information will be compared with findings from other patients in the future to assist in clarifying the phenotype of the Floating-Harbor syndrome.
