The Richieri-Costa Pereira Syndrome (RCPS) is an autosomal recessive acrofacial dysostosis characterized by mandibular cleft comprising other craniofacial anomalies as limb defects, Robin Sequence, microstomia, absence of mandibular central incisors, minor ear anomalies, clubfeet and learning disability. This present study was designed to compare cephalometric measurements between 9 individuals with RCPS and 9 controls, matched for gender and age and was conducted at the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies at the University of São Paulo, Bauru, Brazil. Lateral cephalometrics were used to assess craniofacial and airway linear and angular measurements. In statistical analysis were used t test for analysis of means and Levenes equality of variances. The syndrome group presented severe mandibular hypoplasia and retrognathism, and greater facial convexity, compared with the control group. No statistical differences were detected in airway dimensions The focus of this article was to assess and describe the craniofacial morphology in RCPS, aiming to improve the diagnosis and elaboration of treatment plan in order to keep individuals with RCPS healthy and socially integrated.
