Abstract
Van der Woude Syndrome is one of the syndromic orofacial clefting accounting for 2 % of all cases. It is a rare autosomal dominant condition with high penetrance and variable expression. Clinical manifestation of this autosomal dominant clefting syndrome includes bilateral midline lower lip pits, cleft lip and/or palate and hypodontia. These congenital lip pits appear as a malformation in the vermilion border of the lip with or without excretion. Hyper nasal voice and cleft or bifid uvula may be present. Although infrequently reported, other symptoms include syngnathia, narrow high arched palate, and ankyloglossia. most cases of van der woude syndrome have been linked with to a deletion in chromosome 1q32-q41: however, a second chromosomal locus at 1q34 has also been identified. Most upper and/or lower second premolars are frequently absent. This case report describes a 17 year old male patient who had reported to the outpatient department of the department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Maitri College Of Dentistry and Research Center, Anjora, Durg, Chhattishgarh, and eventually diagnosed with this syndrome along with its clinical manifestation, genetic predisposition, differential diagnosis, investigative procedures and management
