Abstract
Harlequin ichthyosis is a severe genetic disorder that affects the skin. Infants with this condition are born prematurely with very hard, thick skin covering most of their bodies. The skin forms large, diamond-shaped plates that are separated by deep fissures. The disease might be lethal at birth and the affected babies are often premature. The present study reports a new case with harlequin ichthyosis and adds to the collective knowledge of this rare skin disorder. The purpose of this study is to show the interest of adequate and early management to improve the prognosis.
