title: An unusual ectodermal dysplasia with unique eye defects.
abstract: We report a 12-year-old boy with dental, auricular, nasolacrimal duct and unique eyelid anomalies as well as cribriform scrotal atrophy. We believe this is the first description of such a case, although many of the features fit within the spectrum of the ankyloblepharon/ectodermal dysplasia/clefting (AEC) syndrome.
