Publication Nasal Myiasis in a Female with Christ–Siemens–Touraine Syndrome: A Case Report(Nepal Medical Association, 2024) Maharjan, Leison; Shah, Anju; Yadav, Dhirendra; Shrestha, NamitaAbstract Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare disease that belongs to a diverse group of inherited monogenic disorders involving defects in one or more ectodermally or mesodermally derived tissues. Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, also known as Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome is a type of ectodermal dysplasia characterized by a triad of anhidrosis, dysodontia, and hypotrichiasis. The most prevalent method of transmission is X-linked recessive, manifesting fully in men and only partially in female carrier heterozygotes. Atrophic rhinitis and nasal myiasis are rare characteristics of this condition. We hereby report a case of a 52-year-old female with atrophic rhinitis and nasal myiasis who was managed conservatively.
