Abstract

Harlequin icthyosis is a rare extremely severe autosomal recessive dermatosis. The appearance of newborn can be shocking to parents and health care providers. Prenatal diagnosis is possible only with great suspicion and can often be missed. To our knowledge only 100 cases have been reported so far, we report one case of harlequin icthyosis.
