Abstract
An interesting case of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia which came with ozaena, epistaxis, headache and maggots is presented. Histopathology of nasal mucosa, scalp and forearm skin, and a pilocarpine sweat test helped to confirm the diagnosis. In the present state of our knowledge, this X-linked recessive condition has no cure but symptomatic treatment along with heat potection and protection of the eyes has a role to play in the management of these cases. It is hoped that a forgotten cause of atrophic rhinitis is resurrected.
