The current one divides ED into pure ED and ED syndromes - the former presents only ectodermal defects and the later presents ectodermal defects with other anomalies. [jisppd.com]
The association between AEC syndrome and choanal atresia, as presented in our patient, was reported to our knowledge only in two cases (7, 8). The pattern of erosions presented in our patient is pathognomonic for AEC syndrome. [medicaljournals.se]
Her mother presented only dystrophic nails and hypohidrosis. Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome is an uncommon, autosomal dominant condition characterized by distinctive craniofacial anomalies and cleft lip and palate. [minervamedica.it]
Entire Body System
- Short Stature
The father and two other sisters of the patient had normal facial features, but had short stature and had dental anomalies, the latter suggestive of ectodermal dysplasia. [insights.ovid.com]
Renal hypoplasia/aplasia Short long bone Abnormality of the fingernails Short ribs Situs inversus totalis Heterotopia Abnormality of the nail Dandy-Walker malformation Proportionate short stature Mild short stature Limb undergrowth Abnormality of bone [mendelian.co]

Other signs and symptoms include hypoplasia of the maxilla (decreased size of upper jaw bone), ptosis (drooping of upper eyelid), short stature (decreased body height), syndactyly (webbed fingers or toes), thick or thin nails, underdeveloped nasal alae [xpertdox.com]

Breastfeeding may or may not be possible depending on the location and size of the defect –Specialized bottles and nipples may be required to accomplish adequate feeding * Surgical correction (usually in 2–4 stages) with surgical priorities being prevention of regurgitation [checkorphan.org]
Shortly after birth, he had feeding difficulty with nasal regurgitation and was found to have a bifid uvula, a submucosal cleft palate, facial dysmorphism, coarse hair, and brittle nails. [escholarship.org]

Signs and symptoms : Common features of this syndrome include brittle, sparse and dry hair with alopecia in adulthood, hypohidrosis (a reduced ability to sweat due to decrease in the number of sweat glands), heat intolerance, dental anomalies, hearing [xpertdox.com]
Some individuals with ectodermal dysplasia, particularly those with EEC syndrome, may have hearing impairment. Structural birth defects may occur in some ectodermal dysplasias. [encyclopedia.com]
Skin
- Alopecia
The ectodermal dysplasia manifests through uncombable, sparse, wiry hair; alopecia in adulthood; hypodontia; hypohidrosis; and dysplastic nails. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Keywords: Alopecia, Ectodermal dysplasia, Hyperkeratosis, Onychodysplasia, Sensorineural deafness How to cite this article: Akhyani M, Kiavash K. [ijdvl.com]
The main features include dry, brittle hair with alopecia in adulthood, dental anomalies (hypodontia, microdontia with delayed eruption, fissured tongue, and retruded maxilla), hypohidrosis, dysplastic nails, and clefting. [hypodontia.com]

Clinical features include a characteristic facies, i.e. midfacial hypoplasia, narrow nose and microstomia, variable ectodermal defects and cleft lip or palate. [geneskin.org]
- Mid-Face Hypoplasia
Cases of RHS and AEC show considerable clinical overlap, particularly with regard to hypotrichosis and mid-face hypoplasia, and the clinical feature of ankyloblepharon in AEC is often subtle, transient and a poor distinguishing clinical sign. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
The focus of our treatment was to restore the function and esthetics. However, this should not underestimate the importance of prevention. Age and psychological aspect governed our treatment. [jisppd.com]
The dental treatment included root canal treatment, composite restorations, extractions and removable prostheses. This paper highlights features of Rapp-Hodgkin Syndrome and its dental rehabilitation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment Options Treatment of the erosions in AEC is very challenging and can be frustrating since wound healing is poor. Aggressive wound care managment should be avoided and gentle wound care is advised. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Treatment Doctors can treat many of the symptoms of AEC. You’ll work with a team that may include surgeons, skin doctors, dentists, eye doctors, and others. [webmd.com]

The gene locus for AEC syndrome and Hay-Wells syndrome is on the long arm of chromosome 3. [ 5 ] Epidemiology These are exceedingly rare conditions with only a handful of reported cases. [patient.info]
Pathophysiology
EEC syndrome is caused by point mutations in the DNA binding domain of p63 in 95% of cases Pathophysiology p63 is a transcription factor expressed as six isoforms. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Pathophysiology Ectodermal dysplasia results from the abnormal morphogenesis of cutaneous and/or oral embryonal ectoderm (ie, hair, nails, teeth, eccrine glands). In some forms, mesodermal abnormalities are also present. [emedicine.medscape.com]
The following are the 3 most commonly recognized entities: EEC (ectodermal dysplasia, ectrodactyly, cleft lip/palate) syndrome Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome Hay-Wells or AEC (ankyloblepharon, ectodermal dysplasia, cleft lip/palate) syndrome Pathophysiology: ED [doctors.co.il]
In 2003, Lamartine reclassified ED into the following 4 functional groups based on the underlying pathophysiologic defect: (1) cell-to-cell communication and signaling (2) adhesion (3) development (4) other 27. The most common ectodermal [de.slideshare.net]
Prevention
[…] maternal exposure to corticosteroids, phenytoin, valproic acid, thalidomide, alcohol, cigarettes, dioxin, or retinoic acid; and maternal diabetes mellitus, hormone imbalance, and vitamin deficiency * Fetal alcohol syndrome * Treacher Collins syndrome Prevention [checkorphan.org]
Wound care seems paradoxical as an overly moist, occluded wound bed seems to prevent healing and increases the risk of infection in AEC. Do NOT attempt skin grafting as it will fail! [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Topical management of the recurring external otitis slows the process but has been unsuccessful in preventing restenosis of both external auditory canals. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
