A rare case of collodion baby with ophthalmic involvement.
[lamellar ichthyosis]
Ichthyosis
is
an
infrequent
clinical
entity
worldwide
(
1
:
300
,
000
births
)
.
When
diagnosed
in
a
newborn
,
two
forms
can
be
identified
:
collodion
baby
and
its
most
severe
form
,
harlequin
fetus
or
maligna
keratoma
.
In
both
cases
,
clinical
manifestations
are
thick
and
hard
skin
with
deep
splits
.
The
splits
are
more
prominent
in
the
flexion
areas
.
We
report
a
case
of
a
4
-
day
-old
baby
who
was
referred
to
JNMC
Eye
OPD
by
the
Pediatric
Department
of
the
JNMC
.
He
was
having
severe
bilateral
ectropion
of
the
upper
lids
and
chemosis
of
conjuntiva
,
without
corneal
involvement
.
There
was
distortion
of
the
pinna
and
peeling
of
the
skin
,
more
over
the
chest
around
the
neck
region
and
over
the
flexor
aspect
of
limbs
.
Management
of
collodion
baby
requires
a
multi-disciplinary
approach
.
