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]
Entire Body System
- Inguinal Hernia
The male had a small penis and large inguinal hernias. Both had bilateral simian creases. A high axial triradius and simple arches on all digits were found. Both children died in early infancy. [omim.org]
Ears
- Hearing Impairment
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]

Eyes
- Lacrimation
[…] associated with lacrimal gland dysfunction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Presence of lacrimal fistula has only been described in 2 prior cases,8,9 and in both, the fistula exited to the lower eyelid skin. The described patient is unique in that the lacrimal fistula communicated to the caruncle. [docksci.com]
[…] had findings of ectodermal dysplasia in the form of hair, nail and teeth involvement along with lacrimal duct abnormality. [ijdvl.com]
Lacrimal duct obstruction and genitourinary defects are also common ï¬ndings, 2,3 and these features were not present in our patient. [redalyc.org]
- Blepharitis
The features were hypertelorism [Fig. 2], entropion, punctal scarring, hypotrichiasis, absent meibomian glands [Fig. 3] and blepharitis. Child had photophobia, showing papillary conjunctivitis, conjunctival pigmentation and dryness. [journals.lww.com]

Face, Head & Neck
- Hypertelorism
The features were hypertelorism [Fig. 2], entropion, punctal scarring, hypotrichiasis, absent meibomian glands [Fig. 3] and blepharitis. Child had photophobia, showing papillary conjunctivitis, conjunctival pigmentation and dryness. [journals.lww.com]
Other facial features include a large or bulging forehead; wide-set eyes (ocular hypertelorism); a short, upturned nose; and a wide mouth with a large tongue (macroglossia). [medlineplus.gov]
The features were hypertelorism [Figure - 2], entropion, punctal scarring, hypotrichiasis, absent meibomian glands [Figure - 3] and blepharitis. Child had photophobia, showing papillary conjunctivitis, conjunctival pigmentation and dryness. [ijo.in]
- Short Neck
Affected individuals can have other distinctive features, including larger than normal gaps between the bones of the skull in infants (fontanelles), a short neck, low-set ears, and an inability to secrete tears (alacrima). [medlineplus.gov]
At physi- cal examination, it was verified the presence of: bilateral cleft lip and complete cleft palate (involving hard and soft palate), micrognathia, abnormal low-set ears, short neck, and limb defects affecting the central ray of the hands and feet [redalyc.org]
Urogenital
- Cryptorchidism
[…] eruption of teeth, a narrow passage between the nose and throat (choanal stenosis), underdeveloped nipples, abnormal nails of the fingers and toes, extra fingers and/or toes, a clubfoot, a short penis, failure of the testicles to descent into the scrotum (cryptorchidism [rarediseases.org]

Although the patient was receiving metformin treatment for insulin resistance, she had not undergone any prior workup to identify a unifying syndromic cause for her physical and biochemical findings. [mdedge.com]
