Abstract:



Introduction: Keratosis Ichthyosis Deafness (KID) Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by a gap junction protein beta 2 (GJB2) gene mutation. Common oral manifestations include abnormalities in the dentition as well as an increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the mucosal tissue.

 



Case Report: This report discusses a premature infant who was transferred to a level IV NICU for metabolic acidosis with subsequent needs of ongoing respiratory, nutritional and thermoregulatory support who also presented with dysmorphic features and a variety of oral abnormalities typically seen in patients with KID syndrome. This report will highlight the clinical findings often associated with KID, differential diagnoses, and subsequent management of a patient with KID.
