QUINTINO CINTORA, Elizabeth; LOPEZ MORALES, Patricia Marcela e MENDOZA ROSAS, Vicente. Leber's congenital amaurosis: Case report. Rev. Odont. Mex [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.1, pp.38-42. ISSN 1870-199X.
Leber's congenital amaurosis is an heterogeneous and genetic clinical disorder characterized by severe loss of vision at birth. It accounts for 10 to 18% of congenital blindness cases. Some patients exhibit solely retinal blindness and show evidence of multi-systemic involvement. The presentation of this case includes bibliographic review of the subject, presentation of a clinical case and description of the importance of stomatologic handling of these patients. Knowledge and understanding of the disease as well as treatment sequels are paramount.
