Popis: Achondroplasia is the most common type of skeletal dysplasia that manifests with stunted stature and disproportionate limb shortening. Achondroplasia is of special interest in dentistry because of its typical craniofacial manifestations. We report a 9-year-old girl who had all the characteristic manifestations of achondroplasia with a special emphasis on orofacial features. This article highlights the peculiar manifestations of this anomaly.
