Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia/ Christ-Siemens-Touraine Syndrome: A case report
Keywords:
Hypohidrosis, Hypodontia, Hypotrichosis, Multidisciplinary approachAbstract
Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare heterogeneous inherited disorder resulting from faulty development of ectodermal structures. It is clinically characterized by the classical triad of hypohidrosis, hypodontia and hypotrichosis. We report a case of 13 years old boy who presented with chief complaints of hypohidrosis and heat intolerance that were particularly troublesome in summer months. Detailed evaluations revealed numerous cutaneous and extracutaneous manifestations of the syndrome. After a clinical diagnosis, patient was managed with a multidisciplinary approach which resulted in remarkable improvement in his quality of life.References
