Objective: Ichthyosis are complex skin diseases, characterized by hyperkeratosis with various degrees of thickening, desquamation, and erythema. The prenatal diagnosis of ichthyosis is challenged due to the clinical and genetic heterogeneity and the late-onset of fetal features on ultrasound scan. Here, we reported two fetuses with Harlequin ichthyosis (HI), a severe subtype of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI), who were diagnosed prenatally by images and genetic investigations.

Background: Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a group of genetic skin disorders characterized by abnormal keratinization, leading to significant health issues and reduced quality of life. ARCI encompasses harlequin ichthyosis (HI), congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (CIE), and lamellar ichthyosis (LI). While all ARCI genes are linked to LI and CIE, HI is specifically associated with severe mutations in the gene.

Collodion baby is a rare congenital condition marked by a parchment-like membrane covering the body, often leading to complications such as bilateral ectropion. This condition poses risks of exposure keratopathy and other ocular issues. We present a case series of five infants with congenital bilateral ectropion associated with collodion babies, all born prematurely.

Lamellar ichthyosis (LI) is a chronic disease, mostly caused by mutations in the gene, marked by impaired skin barrier formation. No definitive therapies are available, and current treatments aim at symptomatic relief. LI mouse models often fail to faithfully replicate the clinical and histopathological features of human skin conditions.
