Supernumeraries in Nicolaides-Baraitser Syndrome.

Int J Paediatr Dent

Dental and Maxillofacial Department, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London, UK.

Published: November 2017

Background: Nicolaides-Baraitser Syndrome(NCBRS) is an extremely rare condition which has been reported in only a few cases. NCBRS is a distinct clinical condition with typical clinical features of pre- and post-natal global developmental delay, impaired speech, and seizures. Microcephaly, sparse hair, anteverted alae nasi, undefined philtrum, prominence of distal phalanges and interphalangeal joints, and short metacarpals are also typical of NCBRS.

Case Report: There are no reported cases in the literature of patients with NCBRS presenting with multiple dental impactions, and to the authors' knowledge, this is the 28th fully documented case of NCBRS and only 75 cases identified as potentially having NCBRS. The clinical features, diagnosis, and course of management are also described.

Conclusion: Although NCBRS is very rare, it is important to assess dental development in view of the possibility of multiple supernumerary teeth which can have detrimental effects on the occlusion.

Introduction: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is increasingly used for obesity and metabolic disease, with safety profiles showing it is among the safest major operations. The last 20 + years have noted significantly improved safety that has been accompanied by decreasing length of stay and select populations electing for outpatient surgery, leading to continued decreases in cost. Regardless, readmissions and complications still occur, requiring inpatient postoperative care (IP-POC).
