Pathogenesis of the syndrome is attributed to abnormalities in the longarm of chromosome 9 (q22.3-q31) and loss or mutations of human patched gene (PTCH1 gene).Diagnosis is based upon established major and minor clinical and radiological criteria and ideallyconfirmed by deoxyribo nucleic acid analysis. We report a case of a 9-year-old girl presentingwith three major and one minor feature of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome. Radiologic findings of thesyndrome are easily identifiable on Orthopantomogram, chest X-ray, and Computed tomographyscans. These investigations prompt an early verification of the disease, which is very important toprevent recurrence and better survival rates from the coexistent diseases.Key Words: Calcification of falx cerebri, fused ribs, Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, odontogenickeratocyst</Abstract></Article></ArticleSet>
