We describe one daughter of a possibly distant consanguineous couple with infantile hypothyroidism, trichodysplasia, dental anomalies, dystrophic nails, skin alterations, otitis media, slight conductive hypoacusia, recurrent respiratory tract infections, and gastroenterologic problems. One of her two sisters presents dental anomalies and trichodysplasia, and had dry skin at birth. Similarity indexes are estimated for our patients in comparison with those described under the acronym ANOTHER syndrome. It is concluded that, in spite of the differences, it is possible that our two patients also present ANOTHER syndrome. The cause is unknown.
