Three years of follow-up of otodental syndrome in 3-year-old Chinese boy: a rare case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Otodental syndrome is an exceptionally rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by a delayed eruption of posterior teeth, globodontia, lisping, and sensorineural hearing loss. In this case report, we reported a 3-year-old Chinese boy with the otodental syndrome.

Case presentation

A 3-year-old Chinese boy was referred to our hospital with complaint of no eruption of primary canines and molars. Three years follow-up showed lately erupted bulbous primary canines with hypoplastic enamel spot, globe-shaped primary molars and sensorineural hearing loss at 4 and a half-year-old age. We diagnosed otodental syndrome in the patient's mother with hearing loss at 16-year-old age. Gene sequencing and analysis of deafness-related genes GJB2, GJB3, SLC26A4, and mtDNA did not reveal any mutation or SNPs in the patient and his mother.

Conclusions

This case report highlights the importance of detailed medical, dental, and family history examination, as well as multi-disciplinary teamwork for diagnosis and treatment of otodental syndrome.

Project description:BackgroundHypercalcemic crisis caused by primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in pediatric patients is very rare, and appropriate treatment approach for this condition has not been well demonstrated. Here, we report a case of PHPT-induced hypercalcemic crisis in a boy.Case descriptionAn 11-year-old boy visited the clinic with abdominal pain and nausea that lasted for 3 months, but the cause of his symptoms could not be identified. As these symptoms worsened after 1 month, he was referred to a nearby hospital. The boy's albumin-corrected serum calcium level was very high (14.3 mg/dL). Treatment was immediately started with the administration of normal saline, furosemide, and calcitonin to lower his serum calcium levels. Based on elevated intact-parathyroid hormone (i-PTH) (405 pg/mL) level and enlargement of the right superior parathyroid on diagnostic imaging, he was diagnosed with hypercalcemic crisis due to PHPT. As his albumin-corrected serum calcium level increased to 16.5 mg/dL and he could not take almost any foods due to severe nausea, he was transferred to our hospital and treated with pamidronate. Although his albumin-corrected serum calcium level decreased to 14.0 mg/dL, his symptoms did not improve completely. Therefore, 2 days after transfer to our hospital, he underwent emergency surgery to resect the enlarged right superior parathyroid gland. Fifteen minutes after removal of the enlarged parathyroid gland, the serum intact-PTH level decreased to 41.7 pg/mL. The histopathological diagnosis of the enlarged parathyroid gland was adenoma. The boy became asymptomatic, and his albumin-corrected serum calcium level was maintained within the normal limits for 6 months post operatively. Genetic testing performed after the surgery did not detect any pathogenic mutations in the MEN1 and CDC73 genes, and no genetic predisposition has been identified to date.ConclusionsEmergency focused parathyroidectomy prior to genetic testing might be an appropriate strategy when the pediatric patient presents with a PHPT-induced hypercalcemic crisis.
