Ectrodactyly‐ectodermal dysplasia‐clefting (EEC) syndrome

An adult female with ectrodactyly‐ectodermal dysplasia clefting (EEC) syndrome is described. The main features of this syndrome are: bilateral cleft lip and palate, split hands, abnormal hair and teeth, and chronic inflammation of the eyes. The similarity between the three children previously described and this patient further supports the concept of this syndrome as a specific entity. The intelligence of this woman was within normal limits and the main disablement was partial blindness, which seems to be the most serious complication of the syndrome.
