Abstrakt: | Ocular manifestations are common associations of ectrodactyly-Ectodermal dysplasia-cleft palate (EEC) syndrome. We would like to report a case of a 48-year-old patient with EEC syndrome who manifested ocular and extraocular signs and symptoms. The ophthalmic findings in this patient included chronic blepharitis and absence of meibomian gland. There was also a presence of hazy cornea with vascularized corneal stroma and symblepharon involving the lower lid. Systemic conditions showed generalized dry and scaly skin with hand-foot split deformity. Therefore, ophthalmologists should be alert to spot and diagnose this condition as prompt treatment should be commenced considering this can be sight-threatening. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. (Copyright © 2023, Mohd Jais et al.) |
