Oculo-facio-cardio-dental (OFCD) syndrome is an extremely rare condition with ocular, facial, cardiac, and dental abnormalities. It is often unrecognized by many medical and dental professionals. Only 17 cases have been documented to date. Because all reported patients have been female, it has been suggested that OFCD syndrome is an X-linked dominant trait. Isolation and diagnosis of this syndrome is hard for the medical specialists. Only unique and specific findings are observed in dental and skeletal structures, which can easily be diagnosed by an orthodontist or general dentist. Therefore, it was the aim of this study to present a new case of this syndrome and to evaluate it from an orthodontic perspective in order to call the attention of orthodontists to this rare anomaly.
眼-面-心-牙（OFCD）综合征是一种极为罕见的疾病，伴有眼部、面部、心脏和牙齿异常。许多医学和牙科专业人员常常对此缺乏认识。迄今为止，仅有17例病例被记录在案。由于所有报告的患者均为女性，因此有人提出OFCD综合征是一种X连锁显性性状。对于医学专家而言，分离和诊断这种综合征颇具难度。在牙齿和骨骼结构中仅观察到独特且特定的表现，正畸医生或普通牙医能够轻易诊断出来。因此，本研究的目的是报告该综合征的一例新病例，并从正畸角度对其进行评估，以引起正畸医生对这种罕见异常的关注。
