Oculodentodigital dysplasia is a rare autosomal dominant inherited syndrome which can influence the developments of multiple organs and tissues in embryo and adults. It can cause the abnormities in ophthalmological, dental, skeleton, and other systems like neurological system, etc. The manifestations of ODDD were in highly various; most of patients, however, were easily recognized by the typical facial characteristics since the eye–teeth–nose were involved. The facial appearances of patient were affected along with the development of self-esteem. In this report, a 23-year-old female was referred to our constitution with classical ODDD facial manifestations. Considering the age, complications, and personal facial condition, we performed epicanthoplasty, lateral canthotomy, and correcting procedures for both sides of 3rd and 4th fingers syndactyly simultaneously. In addition, we used Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSES) to evaluate the self-esteem level before the surgery, 9 days after surgery (suture removed) and 1 month after surgery, respectively. The outcomes showed that self-esteem was higher in postoperative stage. The patient was satisfied with the cosmetic outcomes as well.
Level of evidence: Level V, therapeutic study.
