SCARDOVI, Silvio; BUENO, Luis  and  RAFFO, Marisa. Ascher syndrome: clinical case care and treatment. Odontoestomatología [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.31, pp.78-85. ISSN 0797-0374.  https://doi.org/10.22592/ode2018n31a9.

We present a case report of a patient with Ascher Syndrome. It is a rare, benign disorder with few cases reported in the world. Clinically, it is an anomaly which may be either congenital or acquired, characterized by a triad: blepharochalasis, double lip (upper lip is involved more often than lower lip, although on occasion both may be involved), and nontoxic thyroid goiter. Surgical treatment may be indicated as it is a deformity that interferes with mastication and speech, and which might have aesthetic implications.

Keywords : Ascher syndrome; double lip.
