Dysphagia in hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. A case report. 1984

P C Potter, and M D Bowie

The congenital ectodermal dysplasias are a rare group of hereditary disorders manifesting with variable defects in structures of ectodermal origin. This report describes a patient with the hypohidrotic form of ectodermal dysplasia who presented with dysphagia and pneumonia. He was shown to have laryngeal incompetence and it is postulated that this may be a mechanism for the recurrent chest infections reported in patients with this condition.

D003680	Deglutition Disorders	Difficulty in SWALLOWING which may result from neuromuscular disorder or mechanical obstruction. Dysphagia is classified into two distinct types: oropharyngeal dysphagia due to malfunction of the PHARYNX and UPPER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER; and esophageal dysphagia due to malfunction of the ESOPHAGUS.

D004476	Ectodermal Dysplasia	A group of hereditary disorders involving tissues and structures derived from the embryonic ectoderm. They are characterized by the presence of abnormalities at birth and involvement of both the epidermis and skin appendages. They are generally nonprogressive and diffuse. Various forms exist, including anhidrotic and hidrotic dysplasias, FOCAL DERMAL HYPOPLASIA, and aplasia cutis congenita.
