ABSTRACT

Leber’s congenital amaurosis is an heterogeneous and genetic clinical disorder characterized by severe loss of vision at birth. It accounts for 10 to 18% of congenital blindness cases. Some patients exhibit solely retinal blindness and show evidence of multi-systemic involvement. The presentation of this case includes bibliographic review of the subject, presentation of a clinical case and description of the importance of stomatologic handling of these patients. Knowledge and understanding of the disease as well as treatment sequels are paramount.
