Gorlin's syndrome with associated odontogenic cysts

Multiple maxillary and mandibular cysts are principle features of basal cell nevus syndrome (Gorlin-Goltz). We present cases from an affected family in which magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was helpful in evaluation of the cystic lesions. A middle ear anomaly was identified which may represent an a...

We present cases from an affected family in which magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was helpful in evaluation of the cystic lesions. A middle ear anomaly was identified which may represent an additional abnormality associated with the syndrome.
