Abstract
Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare congenital disorder characterized by dry, brittle hair, dental malformations, and skin abnormalities. It is thought to be the result of embryonic ectodermal dysgenesis, affecting tissues and structures that are widely separated but with common developmental origins. Recently, this disorder has been associated with a unique neuroimaging appearance, consisting of widely dilated perivascular spaces. This association has been proposed as a novel neurocutaneous syndrome, identified in one report as "cerebrum polycystica vera." We report a similar patient with dilated perivascular spaces associated with dermatologic manifestations consistent with ectodermal dysplasia. This patient was otherwise normal, without neurocognitive deficit. Additional neuroimaging findings included widespread white-matter high signal intensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, as well as normal findings on magnetic resonance spectroscopy. This case confirms the association of ectodermal dysplasia and brain cystic changes and appears to expand the phenotypic manifestations that may be seen in such patients.

Abstract
We present the case of a 9 months old boy with an X-linked form of anhidrotic (hypohidrotic) ectodermal dysplasia. Several chest X-rays had been performed to rule out pneumonia because of recurrent episodes of high fever. The child's lack of tooth buds (hypodontia), which could be encountered on the margins of the chest X-rays, are suggestive for ectodermal dysplasia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the possible craniomaxillofacial deformative consequences associated with ectodermal dysplasias and embryonic malformations, which include dental ageneses. SETTING Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, University Hospital, Lille, France. PATIENTS Sixteen patients (seven boys and nine girls, aged 4 to 34 years) with pure ectodermal dysplasia (no ectodermal dysplasia syndromes). INTERVENTIONS All patients had a clinical examination. Seven (two boys and five girls, aged 4 to 25 years) had undergone plaster casts and radiographic and Delaire's cephalometric studies before being treated. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES All patients had tooth ageneses (from hypodontia to anodontia), associated with cutaneous dyshidrosis and hair and nail dystrophy. Most of them had a short face, with an unusual facial concavity, a maxillary retrusion, and a relative mandibular protrusion. MANAGEMENT RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Depending on their ages and their orthopedic abnormalities, patients underwent either dental or prosthodontic, orthodontic, orthopedic, orthognathic, or implant treatment. So as not to interfere with the growth pattern, we preferred to reserve implant and orthognathic surgery for full-grown cases. CONCLUSIONS Oral and maxillofacial surgeons must undertake a comprehensive approach to these patients to improve their dental, masticatory, growing, and orthognathic conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A total of 126 genetic syndromes are associated with oligodontia or anodontia. The most frequent of these are ectodermal dysplasias, all types of facial cleft and Down's syndrome. With the advent of three-dimensional ultrasonography, accurate assessment of many fetal abnormalities has become possible. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of three-dimensional ultrasonography in the visualization of fetal tooth germs. DESIGN We examined 45 women with singleton pregnancies between 16 and 36 gestational weeks who were undergoing routine ultrasound check-ups for fetal tooth germs with conventional two-dimensional ultrasonography, followed by three-dimensional ultrasonography using multiplanar reconstruction. RESULTS In the 45 fetuses studied, fetal tooth germs were visualized at the first attempt in 36 cases (80%). In the group of fetuses aged between 19 and 36 weeks of gestation, the overall detection rate in both jaws was at least 86% for three-dimensional ultrasonography, compared to at least 56% for two-dimensional ultrasonography. CONCLUSIONS Three-dimensional ultrasonography was clearly superior to conventional ultrasonography in the visualization and evaluation of fetal tooth germs. Three-dimensional ultrasonography therefore has a potential for enhanced visualization of fetal tooth germs and may aid in the antenatal detection of syndromes associated with oligodontia or anodontia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ectodermal hypohidrotic dysplasia, Marfan and Robinson syndromes are hereditary syndromes. They are characterized by teeth anomalies associated with system anomalies. The purpose of the present study is an analysis of single dental anomaly cases in personally observed syndromes. METHODS The dental arch radiographs of 8 patients suffering from hereditary syndromes characterized by teeth anomalies have been studied. These dental anomalies have been classified--from an anatomic-clinical viewpoint--as to number (missing/exceeding teeth), shape, position, volume (too much/too little), eruption (early/late, till inclusion) and structure (enamel, dentine, cement). For each syndrome, the kind of transmission, the kind of dental anomaly (isolated or associated), the prevailing, the kind of association among the various dental anomalies have been evaluated. CONCLUSIONS The most frequently observed anomaly among the examined syndromes has been the number associated to shape. The 95.4% of the specimen presented association between different dental anomalies. The results of the observation confirm the well documented ontogenetic and etiopathogenetic relationship between genetics, dental genesis, morphogenesis, teeth eruption and growth. Dental anomalies observation should direct the surgeon towards considering the presence of other signs and symptoms when tracing out probable and more complex--sometimes recessive--syndrome outlines.

Abstract
Cutis aplasia (cutis aplasia congenita cystica) is a rare congenital disorder with failure of completion of the extracerebral coverings, involving a defect in the scalp and often a cranial defect. A case of cutis aplasia is reported with an associated high-flow venous fistula or sinus pericranii, resulting in altered venous drainage of sagittal sinus blood through dilated scalp veins. Radiological workup to ensure patency of the superior sagittal sinus was critical to the surgical management in this case.

Abstract
The dentition of a patient with ectodermal dysplasia was restored with a modified hollowed maxillary overdenture opposing a conventional mandibular overdenture. Lingualized occlusion was used because it was the ideal occlusal scheme for this patient to achieve denture stability. The lingual cusps of the maxillary posterior teeth contacted the fossae of the mandibular teeth to create freedom of movement and to prevent lateral interference.

Abstract
Cranioectodermal dysplasia (CED) is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by defects of ectoderm-derived structures and characteristic bone anomalies. We report on a 27-month-old Caucasian girl with CED, pre- and postnatal growth retardation, microcephaly, hypoplasia of the posterior corpus callosum, photophobia, and aberrant calcium homeostasis. Since new traits were encountered, we reviewed all reported patients and one unpublished case and compared the frequency rates of the individual manifestations. The findings present in all patients are dolichocephaly and rhizomelia. Ectodermal dysplasia manifestations are variable. Short thorax and heart defect are inconsistent. Previously unreported anomalies include growth deficiency, delayed psychomotor development, microcephaly, photophobia, and abnormal calcium homeostasis. These clinical manifestations may facilitate the diagnosis of this condition.

Abstract
Recently, sonography of the fetal face has gained increasing importance in prenatal diagnosis. It is not yet clear whether sonographic depiction of fetal tooth germs would have an influence on the prenatal diagnosis of ectodermal dysplasia syndromes. During routine malformation screening, horizontal sections of fetal jaws were visualized and examined for tooth germs in 124 pregnant women following sonographic 'facing'. Histological jaw sections of fetuses that had died in utero at various gestational ages were produced in order to examine the degree of correspondence between the sonographic and histological findings. At least four tooth germs were found in the jaws of all fetuses between 19 and 34 gestational weeks (n = 104). Although jaw visualization was possible between 14 and 18 gestational weeks (n = 20), the exact number and location of the tooth germs could not be determined. Assessment of tooth germs may become increasingly important, as aplasia of the tooth germs is one of the principal signs of various hereditary ectodermal diseases.

Abstract
AIM The present study was to examine the radiographic and histologic correlation of the respective ultrasonographic findings. METHODS Histologic examinations were performed in 12 fetuses who had died in utero between 16 and 34 weeks of gestation. The fetuses had been examined by intrauterine sonography for tooth germs and had been subjected to additional radiographic examinations post abortum or partum. During autopsy, the tooth germs were again examined sonographically and radiographically, and non-decalcified histological sections were obtained by means of the sawing and grinding technique. RESULTS The results obtained by histologically examining the 12 fetal jaws in the ultrasonic plane corresponded in all cases to those examined by sonography and radiology. CONCLUSION Sonographic proof of tooth germs might gain increasing importance in future because agenesia of tooth germs is one of the principal signs of a variety of hereditary syndromes, particularly those of ectodermal origin.

Abstract
Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome (RHS) is a rare form of ectodermal dysplasia with variable involvement of the hair, eyes, sweat glands, nails, and teeth. Oral findings may include hypodontia, hypoplastic enamel, cleft lip/palate, and a pronounced midfacial hypoplasia. The objective of this study was to determine if the pronounced midfacial hypoplasia is the result of a true tissue hypoplasia or displacement of midfacial tissues. We have identified a family in which three members, a mother and two daughters, display clinical features characteristic of RHS. Clinical and intraoral examination of these affected persons showed manifestations characteristic of RHS, and several new findings were observed, including subcutaneous abscesses, palmoplantar keratosis, and keratotic lesions located on the chest and trunk. To assess the midfacial hypoplasia, lateral cephalometric analysis was performed on lateral headplates. Results of the cephalometric analysis suggest that the midfacial hypoplasia results from both a deficiency and a displacement of the maxilla. These findings are significant because successful dental treatment of RHS relies upon accurate assessment of current and projected orofacial development, particularly for the skeletal relations of the maxilla and mandible.

Abstract
We report a 20 year old man with short stature, microcephaly, unusual facies, numerous pigmented naevi, hypodontia, immunodeficiency, and a high pitched voice. Tympner et al had assumed that the patient had a new syndrome of "progressive combined immunodeficiency and ectomesodermal dysplasia". We show here that the condition is identical to the Mulvihill-Smith syndrome (McKusick 176690), a progeroid disorder described in four or possibly five sporadic cases to date. We describe his clinical progress up to the age of 20 years. Our patient suffered from severe viral infections, allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis, delayed puberty, visual loss, modest achievement in high school, and reactive depression. The immunological, facioskeletal, and dental abnormalities are presented in detail.

Abstract
A 10-year-old male with acrania, distal limb anomalies, and abnormal arterial and venous cranial blood vessels is reported. Parental films and examination are normal. This case supports the hypothesis that acrania is a severe form of aplasia cutis congenita and is within the spectrum of Adams-Oliver syndrome. It is proposed that the diagnosis of acrania requires assessment of both parents and proband to assess other manifestations of vascular disruption in order to provide accurate genetic counselling.

Abstract
Aplasia cutis congenita associated with epidermolysis bullosa and pyloric atresia is a rare congenital disease in which localized or widespread areas of skin are absent at birth. Alphafetoprotein (AFP) and skin biopsy have been used for prenatal diagnosis of this condition. A patient in whom normal levels of amniotic AFP at 16 weeks' gestation presumably excluded the disease and who was at risk for aplasia cutis congenita associated with epidermolysis bullosa and pyloric atresia is described. However, 10 weeks later, ultrasonographic examination revealed hydramnios, a dilated stomach, a deformed external ear, and a contracted fisted hand. All signs were confirmed postnatally. The role of ultrasonography and the value of other diagnostic methods in this congenital disease are discussed.

Five members of a four-generation Mauritian family with ectrodactyly (split-hand/split-foot deformity) and ectodermal dysplasia but without clefting of the lip or palate have been investigated. The ectrodactyly ranged from virtual normality to severe tetramelic deficiencies. The ectodermal dysplasia manifested as hypotrichosis and abnormal dentition. Distinction is drawn between this autosomal dominant condition and the classical EEC syndrome; independent syndromic status is proposed.

Abstract
Two female infants with Goltz syndrome (focal dermal hypoplasia) were recently investigated in the Department of Radiology, The Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street for severe feeding problems and failure to thrive. Both demonstrated severe skeletal malformations and marked gastrooesophageal reflux with laxity of the hiatus. One child (case 1) exhibited nasal regurgitation during feeding. Interestingly, both children had undergone surgery; Case 1 or a right parasagittal abdominal hernia associated with focal dermal hypoplasia of the abdominal wall and Case 2 for an exomphalos also associated with dermal hypoplasia. This observation suggests a more widespread mesodermal abnormality.
