Abstract

Trisomy 8 mosaicism is a relatively common autosomal chromosomal disorder characterized by features such as mental retardation, characteristic facies, skeletal abnormalities and congenital heart disease. The case of a 4-year-old boy is described with particular reference to the oro-facial manifestations, which included cleft palate, pronounced anterior open bite, complete reserved unilateral buccal cross-bite, slightly increased width of alveolar processes, and gingival enlargement.
