Abstract

Ectrodactyly- ectodermal dysplasia-cleft lip or palate syndrome(EEC syndrome) is characterized by the triad of ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and facial clefting (lip/palate). However, manifestation of all the three anomalies is very uncommon. The incomplete forms, with absence of one or more of the cardinal signs, are often noted.  Neither of the two cases, recently reported from India, had all the three anomalies. We report a sporadic case of EEC with all three classical features.
