Abstract

Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by mental retardation, postnatal growth deficiency, microcephaly, specific facial characteristics, broad thumbs, and big toes. Presence of dental problems and inadequate follow-up in RTS, as well as difficulty in self-care, poses a substantial health threat. This case report describes the evaluation of a 27-year-old female RTS patient diagnosed with fever of unknown origin (FUO) with psychiatric complaints and underlines the importance of physical examination including oral cavity in patients with difficulties in expressing their physical complaints.
