TLDR Cri-du-chat syndrome can cause skin and oral lesions affecting nutrition and quality of life.
The 2017 study "Cutaneous and Oral Mucosal Lesions in Cri-du-chat Syndrome" reported on the skin and oral mucosa findings in a 19-year-old female patient with Cri-du-chat syndrome, a condition often characterized by a high-pitched cry that sounds like a cat. The study aimed to fill the gap in descriptions of lesions on these anatomical sites. The patient presented with nutritional, neurological, and dermatological manifestations, which were described in detail, along with laboratory findings. The study emphasized the impact of these clinical findings on the patient's inadequate nutritional status and the need for improved intraoral diagnoses and management to enhance the patient's quality of life.
