Ectodermal dysplasia associated with sickle cell disease.
[]
Ectodermal
dysplasia
and
sickle
cell
anaemia
are
inherited
disorders
that
affect
,
respectively
,
the
tissues
derived
from
the
embryonic
ectoderm
and
the
production
of
erythrocytes
by
the
bone
marrow
.
The
simultaneous
occurrence
of
both
disorders
is
extremely
rare
.
This
is
a
case
of
both
ectodermal
dysplasia
and
sickle
cell
anaemia
reported
in
a
6
-
year
-old
.
The
patient
had
been
diagnosed
with
sickle
cell
anaemia
for
only
six
months
when
he
sought
treatment
presenting
with
the
following
:
hypotrichosis
,
dry
skin
,
periocular
hyperpigmentation
,
protruding
lips
,
hypodontia
,
and
morphologically
altered
teeth
.
The
clinical
features
combined
with
his
medical
history
led
to
the
diagnosis
of
ectodermal
dysplasia
.
Dentists
should
be
prepared
to
recognise
patterns
that
escape
normality
to
aid
in
the
diagnosis
of
systemic
changes
,
even
in
patients
with
other
previous
diagnoses
.
