Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome – A report of a rare case and a multidisciplinary treatment plan with literature review

Abstract

Aberrant development of ectodermal structures and congenital dysplasia of one or more accessory appendages is a characteristic of a heterogeneous group of disorders known as ectodermal dysplasias [EDs]. These disorders are widespread, nonprogressive, and congenital. Education, counselling, prosthetics, and general rehabilitation are the main focuses of a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of patients with ectodermal dysplasias and their families. The article presented here highlights a rare case of Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome  in a 15-year-old male patient with a multidisciplinary treatment plan.
