A Rare Case Report of a Collodion Baby and Its Sibling with Lamellar Ichthyosis
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Ichthyoses are disorders characterised by presence of fish like scales. They are either inherited or acquired. Lamellar ichthyosis (LI) is one among the inherited variants with skin being covered by large, thick, polygonal scales. We report a female neonate who presented to the neonatal clinic with collodion membrane at birth and her sibling a 6 year old male child who presented with large plate like scales, ectropion, and corneal opacity. The older child’s skin biopsy demonstrated hyperkeratosis. Because of its rare occurrence, we report this with review of literature.
