ELLIS-VAN CREVELD SYNDROME

Abstract

Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EVCS) or chondroectodermal dysplasia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a variable spectrum of clinical findings. Classical EVC syndrome comprises a tetrad of clinical manifestations of chondrodystrophy, polydactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and cardiac defects. The patient presented with short stature, polydactyly, triangular face and dental dismorphism was found appropriately as radiographic with ectodermal dysplasia. In addition to the presence of single atrium, mitral, tricuspid and pulmonary valve insufficiency and pulmonary hypertension wererevealed by echocardiography. Her history involved a sister who was dead in 3-month-ages
