The syndrome of ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and clefting (EEC)

Early recognition of ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and clefting of the lip and palate as a syndrome could result in more beneficial treatment for the patient. Patients with the EEC syndrome often have ocular and auricular deficiencies that progressively become more severe. These patients are often seen first by cleft palate teams who make the diagnosis. The patient's dental status requires frequent evaluation after corrective procedures for cleft lip and cleft palate.
