Abstract: Background: Gorlin-Goltz Syndrome (GGS), or Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome (NBCCS), is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by various clinical manifestations. This case series emphasizes the radiological features crucial for diagnosis. Methods: We present imaging findings from three cases of NBCCS, focusing on the diagnostic criteria and clinical manifestations. Results: All cases exhibited multiple odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) of the jaw and intracranial calcifications. These radiological features are pivotal for early diagnosis. Conclusion: Radiological imaging plays a vital role in diagnosing GGS, aiding in the multidisciplinary management and improved patient outcomes.
