Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Genetics
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare genetic disorder affecting ectodermal derivatives.
  • Ocular manifestations in HED are uncommon but can be severe.

Observation:

  • A 6-year-old boy with diagnosed HED presented with acute bilateral eye symptoms.
  • Symptoms included pain, photophobia, and significant vision loss.

Findings:

  • Severe bilateral panuveitis was diagnosed, characterized by optic disk edema, macular epiretinal membrane, peripheral retinal vasculitis, and retinitis.
  • Extensive workup excluded other common causes of panuveitis.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a potential predisposition to panuveitis in patients with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
