A Rare Case Report of Neurodegenerative Disease With Oro-Dental Trauma

Batten disease, also known as Spielmeyer-Vogt-Sjögren-Batten disease, is a rare and deadly autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease. It is the most prevalent type among a group of diseases known as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs). The patient, a 31-year-old woman, presented to the Oral Medicine and Radiology Department with the primary complaint of knocking out her upper front teeth after she had suffered a seizure and fell out of bed onto the floor. She has Batten disease, according to her medical history (NCL2). The diagnosis and treatment of an oro-dental issue are presented in this instance. As an oral physician, understanding Batten disease is crucial because it requires a multidisciplinary approach to manage the oral health issues associated with it. Early intervention and continuous support are essential to maintaining the well-being of affected individuals.

Abstract

Batten disease, also known as Spielmeyer-Vogt-Sjögren-Batten disease, is a rare and deadly autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease. It is the most prevalent type among a group of diseases known as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs). The patient, a 31-year-old woman, presented to the Oral Medicine and Radiology Department with the primary complaint of knocking out her upper front teeth after she had suffered a seizure and fell out of bed onto the floor. She has Batten disease, according to her medical history (NCL2). The diagnosis and treatment of an oro-dental issue are presented in this instance. As an oral physician, understanding Batten disease is crucial because it requires a multidisciplinary approach to manage the oral health issues associated with it. Early intervention and continuous support are essential to maintaining the well-being of affected individuals.
