VITAMIN D AND CRANIOFACIAL AND DENTAL ANOMALIES OF SUPRAVALVULAR STENOSIS

Richard D. Rowa M.D.1 and Robert E. Cooke M.D.1

1 The Johns Hopkins Hospital Baltimore, Maryland 21205

Few pediatric disorders have undergone such fascinating extensions to their clinical picture as has been the case in idiopathic hypercalcemia of infancy during the past decade.

Features of the infantile illness were described in the early 1950 by workers in England and Europe. Ten years later an apparently unrelated vascular disorder comprising a peculiar facies, mental retardation, supravalvular aortic and pulmonary stenosis and dental anomalies was reported from New Zealand and Germany. Black and Bonham Carter, at the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, through recognizing a similarity between the facial apperance of these retarded older children and the elfin facies characteristic of infantile hypercalcemia, were able to postulate a relationship between the two clinical entities.
