23720

Ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, cleft lip, and palate syndrome (EEC) is a genetic developmental disorder characterized by ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and orofacial clefts (cleft lip/ palate). A few cases have been reported in literature. The cardinal components of the syndrome are ectrodactyly and syndactyly of the hands and feet, cleft lip with or without cleft palate, and abnormalities ectodermal structures including skin (i.e. hypopigmented and dry skin, hyperkeratosis, skin atrophy), hair (sparse hair and eye brows), teeth (small, absent or dysplastic teeth), nails (nail dystrophy) and exocrine glands (reduction/ absence of sweat, sebaceous and salivary glands). A multidisciplinary approach for treatment is needed which is coordinated by orthopedic, plastic, dental surgeons, ophthalmologist, dermatologists and speech therapists, psychologists. We presented EEC syndrome case with hydrocephaly in the literature.
