EC Clinical and Medical Case Reports

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is a rare genetic disorder characterized by defective development of the ectodermal structure, resulting in anhidrosis/hypo hidrosis, hypotrichosis, and hypodontia. This condition is usually an X-linked recessive disorder that predominantly affects males. Various ophthalmological manifestations have been reported in the literature. We present the ophthalmological manifestations in a case of hypo hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
