Abstract
The subject, an adult bantu male with most of the features of the
classical syndrome, is subjected to a physical investigation with the -
emphasis on the cranio-facial and oral manifestations. The clinical appearance
of the facies and head is discussed and the findings correlated with those
of the accepted syndrome. Special attention is paid to the oral and dental
manifestations and measurements are recorded and compared. A rontgenographic
examination is .performed on the cranium, facial bones and the
jaws. Utilising the lateral skull radiograph ยท(cephalogram), a cephalometric
analysis is done of the skull and jaws to determine the development that
has occurred.
