Abstract
Ectodermal dysplasias (EDs) encompass a diverse set of conditions characterized by developmental abnormalities affecting ectodermal tissues. Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is a congenital syndrome marked by features such as sparse, delicate hair, skin and nail anomalies, reduced sweating capacity (attributed to a deficiency in sweat glands, resulting in sweat-related issues), and underdeveloped or missing teeth (partial or complete absence of primary and/or permanent dentition). In most instances, individuals with EDA can expect a typical lifespan and exhibit normal cognitive abilities. Nonetheless, the absence of sweat glands poses a risk of overheating, potentially leading to brain damage or even fatality in infancy if not promptly recognized. Therefore, early diagnosis holds significant importance. This case report presents a documented instance of ectodermal dysplasia, complemented by a comprehensive literature review.
