Spondylometaphyseal dysplasia (Kozlowski type): case report.

Kozlowski syndrome is the most common type of spondylometaphyseal dysplasia (SMD). It is characterized by short stature (130 to 150 cm), pectus carinatum, limited elbow and hip movement, mild bowleg deformity, and curvature of the spinal column. Children with Kozlowski dwarfism usually are not recognized at birth, since they have normal clinical features, weight, and size. This article reports the dental treatment and oral findings of a 14-year-old female patient with Kozlowski dwarfism.
