Abstract
Pfeiffer syndrome is a rare syndrome which is defined by Pfeiffer in 1964 is autozomal dominant and characterized with variable severity of brachycephalic skull, regressed midface, expansion in hands and feet, broad thumb and big toes syndactyly. This syndrome is defined as a rare syndrome with autosomal, dominantly inherited. Genetic mutations are rare but possible. The syndrome plays a role of craniosynostosis of coronal, lambdoid and occasionally sagittal suturas. Eyes are seen puffy due to shallow orbital structure and resulted by maxillary hipoplasia (ocular proptosis). Hipertelorism and down sloping palpebral fissures are common and strabismus is often seen. Intelligence is normal. In this case report, we aim to present the performed primary teeth extractions and following up in 4 years old girl with type 1 Pfeiffer Sydrome.
