Escobar Syndrome-An Multidisciplinary Approach for an Excellent Outcome With 3 Years of Follow-Up.
This case report intends to provide the facial characteristics of Escobar syndrome and to describe the orthodontic treatment of a 12-year-old female patient diagnosed with it. Escobar syndrome, a variant of the multiple pterygium syndrome, is a rare disorder with many systemic, facial, and oral manifestations.The patient presented with mixed dentition, severe dolichofacial pattern, increased lower facial height, convex profile, severe anterior open bite, maxillary hypoplasia, and mandibular retrognatism. The multidisciplinary approach included soft cleft palate repair, orthodontic treatment, orthognathic surgery, restorative cosmetic dentistry, speech therapy, and physiotherapy. Despite the limitations imposed by the syndrome, this report illustrates how the multidisciplinary treatment approach aided in the correction of occlusal function and facial esthetics and improvement in the quality of life of the patient with Escobar syndrome.
