Holoprosencephaly denotes a failure in the division of the embryonic forebrain prosencephalon into distinct lateral cerebral hemisphere. The association between ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-cleft lip or palate syndrome and holoprosencephaly is very rare. Here we report holoprosencephaly in an Egyptian infant with ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-cleft lip or palate syndrome. Case presentation An 11-month-old Egyptian female baby was referred to our institution for an evaluation of poor growth the pregnancy and perinatal history were uneventful. On examination her growth parameters were below the third centile she had bilateral ectrodactyly of both hands and feet dry rough skin sparse hair of the scalp and operated right cleft lip and cleft palate. Computerized tomography of her brain revealed holoprosencephaly. Conclusion The importance of the early diagnosis of this syndrome should be emphasized in order to implement a multidisciplinary approach for proper management of such cases.

It is a complex pleiotropic multiple congenital anomaly or dysplasia in which any of the three cardinal signs can present with variable expression. It may also be associated with many defects not necessarily of ectodermal origin 1
