Lamellar ichthyosis with rickets.
[lamellar ichthyosis]
Lamellar
ichthyosis
(
LI
)
is
a
rare
genetic
disorder
with
autosomal
recessive
inheritance
.
It
is
equally
seen
in
both
sexes
and
usually
manifests
at
birth
.
The
child
presents
as
a
collodion
baby
.
The
erythema
is
minimal
or
absent
;
but
when
present
,
it
is
maximum
on
the
face
.
The
scaling
is
generalized
,
accentuated
on
lower
extremities
and
flexural
areas
.
Rickets
is
a
condition
in
which
there
is
softening
of
bones
leading
to
fractures
and
deformities
.
It
is
caused
by
vitamin
D
deficiency
&
lack
of
adequate
calcium
in
diet
.
Children
,
6
to
24
months
of
age
,
are
at
a
higher
risk
due
to
rapidly
growing
bones
.
The
association
between
various
types
of
ichthyoses
and
rickets
is
well
documented
.
We
report
a
case
of
lamellar
ichthyosis
with
rickets
in
a
14
-
year
-old
girl
from
our
part
of
the
world
.
