Collected data were date and time of admission in the unit and, in the PRR, age and sex, geographical origin, mode of transportation, PED referral mode, diagnosis, evolution, and resuscitation techniques.

Oculo-ectodermal syndrome: a new tumour predisposition syndrome.

We report a new case of oculo-ectodermal syndrome who developed giant cell granulomas of the jaw, similar to the patient previously described by Toriello et al. (1999). We review reported cases to better delineate the clinical spectrum of this rare condition.
