ABSTRACT

Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, also known as Christ-Siemens-Tourine Syndrome is a X-linked recessive disorder characterised by the faulty development of the ectodermal structure, resulting in most notably anhydrosis/hypohydrosis, hypotrichosis and hypodontia. An interesting case of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia which came with Atrophic rhinitis, epistaxis, headache and nasal myiasis is presented.

Keywords: Anhidrotic Ectodermal dysplasia, hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, X-linked recessive, Atrophic rhinitis.
