Cleidocranial Dysostosis treatment in Benito Juárez

Cleidocranial dysostosis is a rare inherited disorder that affects the development of the bones and teeth, with particular impact on the collarbones and skull.

Common symptoms: It may be noticed by shoulders that come together more than usual due to underdeveloped collarbones, delayed closure of the fontanelles, and abnormalities in the eruption of the teeth.

Common causes: It is due to a genetic alteration that influences the formation of bone tissue and is usually identified in childhood.

Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician follows the child's growth, and the orthopedist manages the effects on the skeleton, in coordination with other professionals. If you notice bone or dental features outside of what is expected in a child, it is advisable to discuss it with a doctor for an appropriate evaluation.
