    Craniodiaphyseal dysplasia (CDD), also known as lionitis, is an extremely rare autosomal recessive bone disorder that causes calcium to build up in the skull, disfiguring the facial features and reducing life expectancy. These calcium deposits decrease the size of cranial foramina, and can decrease the circumference of the cervical spinal canal ...

    To complete the diagnosis, the extent of the disease must be assessed. This is defined as: mild (1-2mm), moderate (3-4mm) or severe (≥ 5mm) depending on the amount of attachment loss present. Radiographs such as bitewings, intra-oral periapicals or a panoramic radiograph can be taken to help assess the bone loss and aid in diagnosis.
