ABSTRACT

EEC syndrome is characterized by deformities of the hands and feet (ectrodactyly), abnormalities of the skin, hair, and nails (ectodermal dysplasia), and cleft lip and/or cleft palate (clefting). Other signs and symptoms include dental, eye, skin, and kidney abnormalities. The present case describes the clinical presentation in a premature neonate born with this rare genetic syndrome.

KEY WORDS: Ectrodactyly, Ectodermal Dysplasia, Cleft Palate.
