Abstract


Background: Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a rare autosomal dominant skeletal disorder presenting with a variety of clinical and radiological features that can prove to be a diagnostic challenge.

There were no major complication and this presentation of CCD was compatible with life. Conclusion: The diagnosis of CCD is based on clinical and radiographic findings, confirmation is possible if molecular genetics test available.
