Singleton Merten syndrome (SMS) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder with variable expression. Its characteristic features include abnormal aortic calcification, abnormal ossification of extremities, and dental anomalies. We present a young man with dyspnea who was noted to have aortic stenosis in the background of glaucoma, psoriasis, dental anomalies, hand and foot deformities, Achilles tendinitis, osteopenia, and nephrolithiasis. The conglomeration of features led to the diagnosis of SMS. His mother had a very similar phenotype.
单例默滕综合征(SMS)是一种罕见的常染色体显性遗传病,表现多样。其特征包括主动脉钙化异常、四肢骨化异常和牙齿异常。我们报告一名年轻男性,他因呼吸困难就诊,被发现患有主动脉狭窄,同时伴有青光眼、银屑病、牙齿异常、手足畸形、跟腱炎、骨质减少和肾结石。这些特征的综合表现导致了SMS的诊断。他的母亲有非常相似的表型。
