Ellis-van Creveld (EVC) syndrome, a form of skeletal and chondroectodermal dysplasia, is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a tetrad of disproportionate dwarfism, postaxial polydactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and heart defects. In the present article, we hereby present a case of a 13-year-old girl of Indian ethnicity with EVC syndrome with a remarkable number of classical oral and dental features, with unusual findings such as taurodontism and talons cusp. Such dental findings were reported in few cases only. Despite the fact that oral manifestations play an important role in the diagnosis of EVC, only a few detailed reports have been published in the dental literature.

Article Synopsis
  • Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EVC) is a rare condition characterized by knee deformities, particularly affecting younger patients, with limited adult treatment documentation.
  • A 23-year-old woman presented with bilateral knee pain and abnormal walking due to valgus knee deformities, which were confirmed through imaging.
  • The surgical approach included osteotomies of the femurs and tibias, achieving good correction; despite mild residual deformity, the patient maintained stable and painless walking for 10 years after surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • - Tricuspid atresia (TA) is a rare heart defect where the right atrioventricular valve is completely absent, leading to serious health issues.
  • - Limited research on TA's genetic factors has identified specific chromosomal abnormalities and several potentially involved genes, indicating a complex genetic underpinnings of the condition.
  • - The diversity in symptoms and genetic profiles among TA patients highlights the need for further study to better understand the intricate genetic network associated with this congenital heart defect.
