Abstract

Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder with multisystemic involvement. It is characterized by the triad of multiple baso-cellular epitheliomas, odontogenic keratocysts (OKC) in the jaws and skeletal anomalies. Later, it was found that calcification of falx is also highly specific. We present radiological findings in case series of two cases, one with multiple OKC, calcified falx, skin lesions, and fibrous dysplasia of sphenoid and second with multiple OKC, calcified falx, vertebral anomaly and medulloblastoma.

Keywords: Gorlin-Goltz syndrome; noncontrast computerized tomography; odontogenic keratocysts.
