Cleidocranial dysplasia is a rare congenital disorder of the bone, characterized by abnormalities of the clavicles, skull and jaw bones. It was first described by Pierre Marie and Paul Sainton in 1898 and since then, over 1000 cases have been documented in medical reports. It is a rare syndrome which is usually caused by an autosomal dominant gene, although 40% of the cases of CCD appear spontaneously, with no apparent genetic cause. The bony and dental features of CCD may be visualized on the radiographical images of the face and the skull and they are characteristic. We report here, a case of Cleidocranial dysplasia in an 18 year old patient, with emphasis on radiological findings.
