Abstract

Weyers acrofacial dysostosis is a rare type of ectodermal dysplasia syndrome characterized by mild short stature, postaxial polydactyly, dystrophic nails, and dental anomalies (hypodontia, microdontia, taurodontism). In this case report, we present the oral and radiographic findings of a 7-year-old girl consistent with the diagnosis of Weyers acrofacial dysostosis. Through this detailed discussion, we aim to contribute to the literature.
