Complete absence of secretion of breast milk due to an anatomical, physiological or pathological cause is rare. Congenital hypoplasia of breasts, Sheehan syndrome due to anterior pituitary failure following post-partum haemorrhage and bilateral mastectomy are some important rare causes. We report a mother with complete absence of breast milk due to hypohidrotic type of ectodermal dysplasia.
Key words: ectodermal dysplasia, absence of breast milk
