Abstract

EEC syndrome is a rare congenital malformation characterized by ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, cleft lip and/or palate. We reported a case of EEC syndrome with cleft palate. The patient was a 15-month-old girl. She had split hands of the upper extremities, syndactyly and polydactyly of the right lower extremity, ectodermal dysplasia including sparse hair, enamel hypoplasia and cleft palate. The patient underwent palatoplasty at the age of 18 months.
