Short stature and developmental delay may be observed in many genetic conditions and well‐defined syndromes. A 7‐year‐old girl presented with the non‐specific findings of subtle dysmorphism, short stature and developmental delay. Although a genetic syndrome was suspected, a definitive diagnosis was not made until the dental findings of KBG syndrome were recognised, namely grossly enlarged maxillary permanent central incisors and hypodontia.
