Improvement of nonbullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma following functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

[lamellar ichthyosis]

We report the case of a child with congenital nonbullous ichthyosiform erythroderma on long-term isotretinoin who developed progressively worsening ichthyosis along with recurrent bouts of sinusitis. Endoscopic sinus surgery revealed osteophytes, most likely an isotretinoin-related adverse event, and post operatively the patient's sinus disease and skin disease both dramatically improved. This case represents the first report, to our knowledge, of ichthyosis improving after endoscopic sinus surgery.
