Abstract
Oculofaciocardiodental (OFCD) syndrome is a rare genetic disease, first reported by Hayward in 1980. This syndrome presents with various ocular, facial, cardiac, and dental symptoms, including congenital cataract, dysmorphic facial features, congenital heart disease, and enlarged roots, respectively. The most important criteria for the diagnosis of OFCD syndrome are dental abnormalities, especially extreme elongation of canine roots. Here, we report detailed analysis of the dentofacial region, as well as ocular, facial, cardiac, and dental findings in a female with OFCD syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, the patient in this case is the first such patient reported in South Korea.Entities:
