Craniofacial manifestations in the Marfan syndrome: palatal dimensions and a comparative cephalometric analysis.

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of this study was to determine how the craniofacial morphology, evaluated from dental casts and lateral cephalograms, in individuals affected by the Marfan syndrome diverge from healthy control groups.
