Abstract
Introduction: The plight of any syndrome is the impact they have on the quality of life of the sufferer. The adverse impact on both the physical and emotion well being cannot be overemphasised. Christ-Siemens Touraine syndrome characterized by a congenital dysplasia of one or more ectodermal structures and their accessory appendages. Case report: A 2 ½ year old child urged his father to get his teeth made. The child was normal in demeanour and did not show any signs of low I.Q. The child responded to questions and obeyed to verbal commands. His clinical appearance was suggestive of a syndrome and exhibited many of the manifestations of ectodermal dysplasia. Conclusion: The patient suffering from ectodermal dysplasia has multiple issues due to the syndrome. The facial aesthetics are affected and the functional disability due to absence of teeth is also present. Medical intervention for the various clinical symptoms present and sessions with a child psychologist are also inherent in the treatment regime.
