Abstract

Majewski osteodyplastic primordial dwarfism type II (MOPD II) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterised by severe intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation. A case report with a distinct rare oral and radiographic feature with MOPD II is presented. It differs from the description of primordial dwarfism with characteristics of small head diameter at birth, which progresses to severe microcephaly and mild mental retardation.
