Additional Symptoms of Cleidocranial Dysplasia
The deformities caused by cleidocranial dysplasia often lead to other symptoms from affected parts of the body. Some people may be prone to frequent sinus and ear infections, respiratory issues and hearing loss. People with cleidocranial dysplasia may experience low bone density and develop arthritis early in life.
Additional dental problems may include cysts that form around displaced or unformed teeth. Some people develop a hole inside the top of the mouth, a cleft palate, or an exaggerated high-arch plate.
