Partial Anodontia-An Untold Clinical Presentation of Diamond Blackfan Anaemia: Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2019, Vol 13, Issue 8
Abstract
ABSTRACT Diamond blackfan anaemia (DBA) is an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome characterised by severe anaemia resulting in depletion or absence of erthyroid progenitor cells and haemopoesis. The pathophysiology of DBA is still undescribed. It is usually manifested in infancy but is not restricted to paediatric patients. Sometimes it might predispose to malignancy. In this paper, we present a single case of DBA with clear oral findings. This case report describes the medical importance of this condition and its risk in dental management (tooth extraction under local anaesthesia).
