Management of craniofacial hyperostosis in Proteus syndrome.
[proteus syndrome]
Proteus
syndrome
is
a
rare
congenital
hamartomatous
condition
that
is
characterized
by
a
wide
range
of
malformations
,
occasionally
involving
the
head
and
the
face
.
Skin
and
skeletal
developmental
malformations
are
common
and
may
be
manifested
in
significant
physical
anomalies
.
In
this
report
,
we
describe
the
cases
of
2
patients
affected
by
this
condition
.
For
one
patient
,
a
recurrence
occurred
4
years
after
the
elimination
of
cranial
hyperostosis
.
In
the
second
patient
,
although
we
observed
macrosomia
and
peculiar
countenance
in
the
context
of
craniofacial
hyperostosis
,
the
patient
did
not
visit
a
clinic
for
approximately
50
years
before
seeking
treatment
.
The
management
of
the
craniofacial
involvement
is
described
,
and
a
literature
overview
is
presented
.
