Abstract

In present paper is reported the case of a patient presenting with the complete
triad of Ectrodactylism syndrome, ectodermic dysplasia and lip-cleft palate, to mention the clinical findings present in assessments as well as the treatments
applied. The syndrome is characterized by the triad Ectrodactylism, ectodermic
dysplasia and cleft (EEC) and it is autosomal dominant with incomplete penetration
and a variable expressiveness. This group of signs and symptoms may be
cofounded with other clinical entities, leading to a mistake diagnosis of patient. Lip
cleft and lack of lacrimal duct is not a usual combination in other conditions. This is
the clinical case of a male patient aged 12 with the syndrome of: Ectrodactylism,
ectodermic dysplasia and lip-cleft palate. Clinical manifestations reported in
literature are mentioned emphasizing the maxillofacial and dental manifestations.
The two brothers of patient were normal or free of this syndrome. It is very
important that the professionals charged of oral and maxillofacial health, as well the
Stomatology students of Bachelor degree of postgraduate level, be able to identify,
diagnose and to work in a multidisciplinary way to arrive to definite diagnosis of
patients presenting with EEC syndrome and to apply the appropriate treatments.
