A Case of Ectrodactyly-Ectodermal Dysplasia-Clefting Syndrome

ABSTRACT

Ectrodactyly (lobster-claw hand or foot), ectodermal dysplasia and cleft lip or palate constitute a rare clinical syndrome of congenital anomalies, commonly called ectrodactyly- ectodermal dysplasia-clefting (EEC) syndrome. Clinical manifestations of EEC syndrome are variable. This disorder is transmitted by autosomal dominant inheritance and thought to be controlled by single gene. This patient is two month old female who has typical ectrodactyly or lobster-claw hand and foot and cleft palate compatible with EEC syndrome. A brief report of a case with review of literature is given.
