Hypohydrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia: A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract

Ectodermal dysplasia is a hereditary disorder that occurs as a consequence of disturbances in the ectoderm of the developing embryo. In the triad of alopecia or hypotrichosis and palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, nail dystrophy is usually accompanied by a lack of sweat glands and a partial or complete absence of primary and/ or permanent dentition. Here, we are presenting a rare case of Ectodermal dysplasia in a 7-year female with classic features of this condition.
