A Rare Entity of Christ Siemens Touraine Syndrome | Chapter 16 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 15

 This case study focuses on Christ Siemens Touraine Syndrome, an uncommon condition. Ectodermal dysplasia is an uncommon condition that affects one in every 100,000 babies, with a male predominance. Appendageal abnormalities with facial dysmorphism are the most common symptoms. Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome) and hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia are the two most frequent kinds of ectodermal dysplasia (Clouston syndrome). Clinical recognition differs based on the severity of the symptoms and the problems that accompany them. After infancy, if discovered early and complications are managed properly, the prognosis is good. We present a case of Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia in an eight-month-old female. A diverse team approach is frequently required by management. High-temperature protection, early dental examination for proper nutrition, detachable prosthodontics and dental implants, and the use of lacrimal tears to prevent ocular damage are all included.
