Abstract

Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by large deposits of iron in the basal ganglia, which causes great motor and mental loss. It presents two forms of manifestations: the classic, which arises in childhood in the first decade of life; and the atypical, whose clinical manifestations appear later, between the second and third decades of life. The objective of this study was to describe a clinical case of endodontic outpatient treatment of a female patient, 28 years old, with classic manifestations of the syndrome, showing color change in element 11 with periapical lesion, justifying the indication for endodontics. The dental care of a rare neurodegenerative disease in an outpatient setting requires the dental surgeon's knowledge so that it is conducted efficiently and safely.
