anodontia/fever

We present the case of a 9 months old boy with an X-linked form of anhidrotic (hypohidrotic) ectodermal dysplasia. Several chest X-rays had been performed to rule out pneumonia because of recurrent episodes of high fever. The child's lack of tooth buds (hypodontia), which could be encountered on the

The hereditary condition known as ectodermal dysplasia is characterized by the absence or defect of two or more ectodermally derived structures. The most commonly observed forms of ectodermal dysplasia are the hidrotic and hypohidrotic types; discrimination is based on the absence or presence of

The X-linked anhydrotic ectodermal dysplasia is a rare disease in which defects in development of ectodermal derivatives are observed. This syndrome is clinically characterized by total or partial anodontia, characteristic physionomy and absent or reduced sweating. Recurrent fever was a clue to the

We report on a 6.5-year-old girl with a balanced translocation between the short arms of chromosomes 1 and 6. She was referred for genetics evaluation because of developmental speech delay and congenital absence of several deciduous and permanent teeth. She was very sensitive to noise (hyperacusis),

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare disease characterized by deficiency in development of structure derived from the ectoderm and is caused by mutations in the genes EDA, EDAR, or EDARADD. Phenotypes caused by mutations in these three may exhibit similar clinical features, explained by

Ectodermal dysplasia is characterized by the absence or defects of two or more ectodermally derived structures. Anodontia or hypodontia is the most striking dental manifestation. In severe hypodontia, there is lack of alveolar development with consequent protrusion and eversion of the lips. Patients

Ectodermal dysplasias are rare conditions with a triad of hypotrichosis, anodontia and anhidrosis. In literature review there have been only a few reports of anesthetic management of patients with ectodermal dysplasias. Hyperthermia is a very serious risk which may occur due to the defect of sweat

Ectodermal dysplasias are rare conditions with a triad of hypotrichosis, anodontia and anhidrosis. In literature review there have been only a few reports of anesthetic management of patients with ectodermal dysplasias. Hyperthermia is a very serious risk which may occur due to the defect of sweat

Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a group of several genetic conditions with absence or dysgenesis of at least two ectodermal derivatives: teeth, skin and its appendages including hair, nails, eccrine and sebaceous glands. The most important clinical findings in patients with ED are hypodontia,

Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is an inherited disorder in which two or more ectodermally derived structures fail to develop, or are abnormal in development. Hypohydrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) or Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome, is an X-linked recessive syndrome with an incidence of 1/10,000 to

OBJECTIVE This clinical report describes the oral rehabilitation of a 6-year-old male ectodermal dysplasia (ED) patient diagnosed with hypodontia. BACKGROUND ED is a hereditary disease characterized by a congenital dysplasia of one or more ectodermal structures and their accessory appendages. Common

Hypohidrotic/ anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is characterized by hypotrichosis (sparseness of scalp and body hair), hypohidrosis (reduced ability to sweat), and hypodontia (decreased tooth development). Sweating is either absent or greatly deficient leading to an increased risk for

BACKGROUND Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (AED) or Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome is a rare, hereditary genodermatosis, classically X-linked recessive disorder. METHODS [corrected] We report the cases of 3 children and a male adult. RESULTS The mode of diagnosis, the clinical signs and the

HED is an X-linked recessive disease involving abnormalities of tissues of ectodermal origin due to developmental disturbances in the embryonal state. These abnormalities include 1) trichodysplasia, 2) dental defects, 3) onychodysplasia, and 4) dyshidrosis. Also common are thin, dry skin, typical

Schwartz-Jampel syndrome (SJS) is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia associated with myotonia. The manifestations of SJS include short stature, blepharophimosis, and skeletal anomalies. The combination of skeletal and muscular abnormalities may result in oro-dental manifestations such as
