Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with lacrimal anomalies.

Ectodermal dysplasia and its related disorders may present with ocular symptoms due to involvement of the ectodermal components of the eye. This paper reports a case of congenital anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia presenting to the ophthalmologist with epiphora due to lacrimal atresia. The embryonic origin of the lacrimal system suggests that lacrimal anomalies in association with ectodermal diso...

Hypohidrotic (anhidrotic) ectodermal dysplasia in female twins.

Autosomal recessive hereditary ectodermal dysplasia (HED) has not been described in sub-Saharan Africa. It is acknowledged to be rarer than the occasionally reported x-linked and autosomal dominant variants. We report a pair of Nigerian female twins with family history and clinical features suggestive of recessive HED, thereby showing the existence of this rare form in sub-Saharan Africa.

Anhidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia – Report of Two Cases

Here we report two cases of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in a family presented to us with intermittent fever, developmental delay, frontal bossing, hypohydrosis, sparse hair and oligodontia. Ectodermal dysplasias are a large hereditary group of disorders which are usually manifested as X-linked recessive hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) and has a full expression in males, whereas fema...
