We report the long-term dental and craniofacial follow-up of a genetically confirmed Venezuelan girl with PTLS and repaired complete cleft palate, highlighting the contribution of continuous pediatric dental care within a multidisciplinary craniofacial team.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case report<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A girl with repaired complete cleft palate was followed from the neonatal period through the mixed dentition stage, following genetic confirmation of PTLS by chromosomal microarray analysis. Comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluation documented developmental delay, generalized hypotonia, cardiovascular anomalies, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and food sensitizations. Dental management included fabrication of a neonatal palatal obturator, comprehensive preventive care, restorative treatment, orthopedic intervention, and full-mouth rehabilitation under intravenous conscious sedation. Longitudinal clinical and radiographic follow-up demonstrated satisfactory oral health, normal permanent tooth development, mild residual maxillary transverse constriction, a skeletal Class II relationship, and a hyperdivergent craniofacial growth pattern.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case illustrates the complexity of oral and craniofacial development in PTLS associated with repaired complete cleft palate and underscores the value of longitudinal pediatric dental follow-up in documenting growth and guiding clinical management. Continuous dental surveillance integrated within a multidisciplinary team facilitated timely preventive, restorative, and interceptive interventions while supporting long-term oral health and functional rehabilitation. Additional longitudinal studies are needed to define the oral phenotype of PTLS better and strengthen the evidence guiding multidisciplinary care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/froh.2026.1918677","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,10]],"date-time":"2026-09-10T04:28:44Z","timestamp":1789014524000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Longitudinal oral and craniofacial follow-up of a genetically confirmed girl with Potocki-Lupski syndrome and repaired complete cleft palate: a case report"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Mariana C.","family":"Morales-Chavez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental School, Dental Research Center, Santa Maria University","place":["Caracas, Venezuela"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana M.","family":"Divasson-Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental School, Santa Maria University","place":["Caracas, Venezuela"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nancy","family":"Galindez-Landaeta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental School, Santa Maria University","place":["Caracas, Venezuela"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"633","DOI":"10.1086\/512864","article-title":"Characterization of potocki-lupski syndrome [dup(17)(p11.2p11.2)] and delineation of a dosage-sensitive critical interval that can convey an autism phenotype","volume":"80","author":"Potocki","year":"2007","journal-title":"Am J Hum Genet"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"215","DOI":"10.1186\/s12920-021-01065-z","article-title":"Copy number variations of chromosome 17p11.2 region in children with development delay and in fetuses with abnormal imaging findings","volume":"14","author":"Zhang","year":"2021","journal-title":"BMC Med Genomics"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.1186\/s11689-017-9221-x","article-title":"The behavioural phenotype of potocki-lupski syndrome: a cross-syndrome comparison","volume":"10","author":"Bissell","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Neurodev Disord"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"29","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0037-1604479","article-title":"A new patient with potocki-lupski syndrome: a literature review","volume":"7","author":"Pratic\u00f2","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Pediatr Genet"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2317","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.a.61789","article-title":"Neurological phenotype of potocki-lupski syndrome","volume":"182","author":"Ciaccio","year":"2020","journal-title":"Am J Med Genet A"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"439","DOI":"10.3390\/jpm13030439","article-title":"Does the potocki-lupski syndrome convey the autism Spectrum disorder phenotype?
