Solitary median maxillary central incisor (SMMCI) syndrome is an uncommon disease with a complex disorder of midline developmental defects involving the midline structures of the head, including the cranial bones, maxilla, and dentition, nasal airways, and sometimes the brain or even other midline structures of the body. The etiology remains uncertain, but a missense mutation in the SHH gene at 7q36 may be associated with this syndrome. Treatment for SMMCI syndrome depends upon the individual anomalies. We therefore report a case of SMMCI syndrome with midnasal stenosis, who successfully underwent conservative treatment via an endotracheal tube dilatation procedure for her respiratory distress condition.
