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

## TL;DR

This case report describes a rare neurodegenerative disease, Batten disease, and its associated oro-dental trauma in a 31-year-old woman.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in highlighting oro-dental trauma as a clinical manifestation of Batten disease and emphasizing the need for multidisciplinary oral care.

## Key findings

- A 31-year-old woman with Batten disease (NCL2) experienced oro-dental trauma following a seizure.
- Oral physicians should be aware of Batten disease to provide appropriate multidisciplinary care.
- Early intervention is crucial for managing oral health in patients with neurodegenerative diseases.

## 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.
