Abstract

Oculodentodigital syndrome (ODD) is a rare congenital disorder which associates eyes and facial abnormalities, defects in teeth enamel and type III syndactyly. The causal genetic defect in this syndrome is still unknown. Some patients with ODD syndrome also manifest spastic paraparesis. In most cases, inheritance is autosomal dominant with variable clinical expression. Herein, we report on a patient with ODD syndrome, who was referred for evaluation of spastic paraplegia. Our observations show that ODD syndrome can be recognized in late adulthood and revealed by spastic paraplegia.
