Abstract :
Lacrimo-auriculo-dento-digital (LADD) syndrome is an extremely rare disorder which may occur sporadically or inheritably as
an autosomal dominant condition. It is characterized by defects in the lacrimal apparatus, ear problems, and dental and digital
abnormalities. However, specific symptoms vary greatly among the cases with a high degree of overlap with other similar genetic
disorders. Here, we describe a 7-year-old boy with LADD syndrome, clinical and radiological findings, dental treatment undertaken,
and its differential diagnosis.
