Journal Title: Medical Journal Armed Forces - Year 2017, Vol 73, Issue 2
Abstract
Collodion baby is a rare congenital disorder characterized by parchment-like taut membrane covering the whole body, often resulting in ectropion and eversion of the lips.1 We present one such case where diagnosis could not be entirely made out at initial examination (out of the entire spectrum) but essential supportive care helped in tiding through the initial critical phase.
