Can Cleidocranial Dysostosis be Cured?
No
No cure; management focuses on addressing specific symptoms and improving quality of life
What is Cleidocranial Dysostosis?
Cleidocranial dysostosis is a rare genetic disorder characterized by skeletal abnormalities, including delayed closure of the skull bones and collarbone abnormalities. Treatment may involve surgical interventions to address specific issues.
