Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 7
Abstract
Ectodermal dysplasia is a hereditary disease characterized by dysplasia of tissues of ectodermal origin. Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia(HED) is the most common type which presents with typical facial features. Ocular manifestations seen in this disease though rare are mainly ocular surface related. Keratoconus is a noninflammatory ectatic disorder of cornea, its association has been described with many systemic syndromes and hereditary diseases. However its association with HED is very rare. This case report discusses the systemic, ocular manifestations, and ocular treatment plan (tuck in lamellar keratoplasty for keratoconus) for HED and keratoconus. The treatment would provide functional boost to the patient in view of better visual outcome.
