Presentation
The parents did not present any minor or major anomaly of hands, feet or skin, hair and teeth. The couple had a previous history of two children with hands and feet malformations similar to the present patient. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
At last follow up, 6 months after presentation, the patient had no visual complaints and maintained stable proptosis without diplopia. Deep Parikh, B.A., and Roman Shinder, M.D. [docksci.com]
Tey also had renal abnor- malities and one of them presented a cleft palate. One indi- vidual had an aï¬ected son presenting similar features. [redalyc.org]

- Multiple Congenital Anomalies
2007/73/1/46/30653 Introduction The EEC syndrome, a rare form of multiple congenital anomaly syndrome,, was first described in 1936 by Cockayne [1] and later designated by Rudiger and colleagues as EEC syndrome. [2] The main clinical features are: ectrodactyly [ijdvl.com]
It is a complex pleiotropic multiple congenital anomaly/dysplasia syndrome in which any one of the stigmata or cardinal signs are present in variable expression. [journals.lww.com]

- Recurrent Infection
The main complications of Schinzel Giedion syndrome are feeding difficulties, respiratory failure, recurrent infections (e.g. pneumonia) and refractory seizures. < Previous section Next section > < Previous section Next section > Causes Schinzel Giedion [rarediseases.org]
Cleft palate with variable lip involvement occurs in 70-100% of cases. [6] Epiphora and recurrent infections with keratitis are commonly induced by nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Almost half of the patients have some degree of conduction deafness. [ijdvl.com]

Because the patient was asymptomatic, he was observed and maintained a stable amount of proptosis without diplopia or change in vision. [docksci.com]
One of the remaining 2 patients had hemoptysis and the last was asymptomatic. Systemic symptoms included Raynaud's phenomenon (2 patients), arthritis in hands (3) and muscle impairment (4). [archbronconeumol.org]

Respiratoric
- Pneumonia
Death during infancy is due to pneumonia, cardiac arrest, tumors, lung hypoplasia, or seizures. [7] The longest documented survivor is 15 years old.[7] Children with this condition who survive past infancy have a higher risk of developing tumors.[8] Causes [en.wikipedia.org]

Other neurological problems can include severe feeding problems, seizures, or visual or hearing impairment. They may also experience short pauses in breathing during sleep (sleep apnea). [medlineplus.gov]
Additional manifestations include hearing impair- ment and urinary tract anomalies. 1 Our aim was to describe a rare case of siblings affected by EEC syndrome presenting normal parents. [redalyc.org]
Skin
- Hypertrichosis
Descripción Sumario: Schinzel-Giedion syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by coarse facies, midface retraction, hypertrichosis, multiple skeletal anomalies, and cardiac and renal malformations. [lareferencia.info]
Babies with Schinzel-Giedion syndrome often have excessive hairiness (hypertrichosis) that usually disappears in infancy. Children with Schinzel-Giedion syndrome have severe developmental delay. [medlineplus.gov]
Symptoms characteristic of SGS also include excessive hair-growth (hypertrichosis), a flat midface (midface retraction), seizures, clubfeet, broad ribs, profound intellectual disability and short arms and legs. [rarediseases.org]
