Johanson–Blizzard syndrome—A case study of oral and systemic manifestations

Abstract 

Johanson–Blizzard syndrome is a hereditary disorder extremely rare. The characteristic features include aplastic alae nasi, midline ectodermal scalp defects, deafness, dental abnormalities and malabsorption related to pancreatic exocrine deficiency. This paper presents a case of an 18-year-old patient with Johanson–Blizzard syndrome and emphasizes the importance of knowledge of the potential anaesthetic concerns of this syndrome for providing appropriate treatment for these patients.
