Ellis-van Creveld (EVC) syndrome is a rare inherited condition with inheritance, which is autosomal recessive in nature and is also described as skeletal dysplasia (chondroectodermal). The patients present with a grave genu valgum deformity which is a major challenge in orthopedics. The current case report presents a young girl of the juvenile age group who came with deformity over the bilateral lower limb with difficulty in walking and bilateral upper limb polydactyly. The patient underwent relevant investigations and examinations which were suggestive of bilateral genu valgum deformity. Since the deformity was significant, a corrective osteotomy with soft tissue release was planned followed by rehabilitative physiotherapy. Considering the extensive nature of the surgery, a staged procedure was planned. The patient on follow-up presented with a good range of motion and improved gait. Various treatment modalities have been described for the correction of the deformity but few of them are done in patients with EVC syndrome and they state varying results and high incidences of relapse. The present study focuses on corrective osteotomy with soft tissue release as a treatment modality and describes the outcome associated with the modality. Thus, stating that with proper planning and postoperative rehabilitation the patient can achieve a good functional outcome.

Ellis-van Creveld syndrome 10-year-old Turkish girl and her parents were first degree cousins. A novel pathogenic variant (p.Glu1178Glyfs*82) was detected in the EVC2 gene in patient. She had no peg-shaped teeth, multiple frenula, and limb shortness.

Ellis van Creveld syndrome (EVC) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder also called chondroectodermal dysplasia. This study reports on a 40-year-old woman from Iran with a syndromic appearance consisting of a coarse face, conical anterior teeth, dental agenesis and permanent teeth at birth, several small extralabial, nonmidline frenula with a high-arched palate, and a large maxillary labial frenulum. The patient had cyanosis on her lips since childhood and a history of adenoid tonsillectomy surgery. She also had androgenic alopecia, an elongated trunk with excessive lordosis and pectus excavatum, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and a history of two periods in a month. She also had multiple fibrocystic cysts in her breasts, lower extremity deformity, dysplastic genu valgum, and short limb dwarfism; she had undergone left knee surgery four times and had severe osteoporosis in some of her bones and some hyperpigmented patches on the dorsal of the left hand. Her hands and feet were also wide and markedly deformed with hypoplastic fingernails and toenails, and she had bimanual hexadactyly on the ulnar side of the hands. She also had a history of severe hypotension and cyanosis during surgery and suffered from congenital heart failure and had undergone open heart surgery for correcting her atrial heart defect. In this study pectus excavatum, Phrygian cap gallbladder, liver hemangioma, polycystic ovarian disease, and breast fibrocystic cysts was reported for first time in this case of EVC syndrome. This case was reported and all articles regarding common, uncommon, rare, and extremely rare presentations of this syndrome were reviewed.

Ellis-Van Creveld (EvC) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive chondroectodermal dysplasia including chondrodysplasia, postaxial polydactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and congenital heart disease in 60% of patients. Additional findings may be observed affecting the pulmonary, renal, gastrointestinal, hematologic, and central nervous systems. We report a case of an 11-year-old Moroccan boy with EVC syndrome and Dandy-Walker malformation. To our knowledge, this association has been previously reported in 3 patients in the literature.

Chondroectodermal syndrome or Ellis Van Creveld (EVC) is a rare autosomal recessive congenital disorder. It was first described by Richard W.B.Ellis and Simon Van Creveld in 1940. Parental consanguinity is present in about 30% of the cases. A large number of cases were reported in Amish population of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania USA and also in Aboriginal community of Australia in 1964. The incidence in Amish population is 1/5000 live births and in general population 7/1,000,000. There are only 150 cases reported worldwide. The principal feature of this syndrome is a tetrad of disproportionate dwarfism, ectodermal dysplasia, bilateral postaxial polydactyly and congenital heart defects.

Ellis-Van Creveld syndrome or chondroectodermal dysplasia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder presenting several skeletal manifestations and congenital heart malformations. Ellis-Van Creveld syndrome comprises of a tetrad of clinical manifestations of chondrodysplasia, polydactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and cardiac defects. Here, we are presenting a very rare case of Ellis-Van Creveld syndrome in siblings.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this case series was to determine the oral, dental and craniofacial features of patients with EvC syndrome.
METHODS: Eight patients with EvC syndrome were enrolled. A complete family history, pedigree analysis, detailed medical history were collected. Findings of clinical examination, including craniofacial and orodental manifestations, and radiological investigations were thoroughly studied.
RESULTS: All eight patients had characteristic face, hypertrophic frenulum, conical and peg-shaped teeth, hypodontia of deciduous and/or permanent teeth and also skeletal dysplasia, small chest, short stature and hypoplastic nails. Additionally dysmorphic filtrum, serrated appearance of gingiva, diastema, enamel hypoplasia, microdontia, taurodontism, single rooted permanent molar, delayed eruption and high caries rate were observed with varying degrees. Cephalometric evaluation revealed skeletal Class III growth pattern in four subjects and Class II growth pattern in one subject.
CONCLUSIONS: Evaluation of craniofacial and orodental anomalies of EvC syndrome is required for accurate differential diagnosis from other congenital syndromes.

Ellis Van Creveld syndrome (EVC) is a rare genetic disorder having autosomal recessive inheritance affecting the Amish population of Pennsylvania in USA with incidence of 1:244,000 for the general population. This syndrome consists of characteristic features such as bilateral postaxial polydactyly, chondroectodermal dysplasia, congenital heart defects and hypoplastic nails and teeth. There are few case reports of this syndrome reported in dental literature. We report a case of a 17 year old female presenting typical features of this syndrome and the oral findings of this patient which are the key diagnostic features.

Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EVC) is a rare disorder (the incidence is estimated at around 7/1,000,000) characterized by the clinical tetrad of chondrodystrophy, polydactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and cardiac anomalies. Sagittal synostosis is characterized by a dolichocephalic head shape resulting from premature fusion of the sagittal suture. Both are rare disorders, which have never been reported together. We present a case of EVC and sagittal synostosis. We report the clinical features of a Hispanic boy with EVC and sagittal craniosynostosis who underwent cranial vault remodeling. The presentation of this patient is gone over in detail. A never before reported case of EVC and sagittal synostosis is presented in detail.
