Article Abstract

Incontinentia pigmenti is rare X-linked dominant disorder. There is no consistent expression of Incontinetia pigmenti in female child, but in male child, they always lead to death in utero. Vesicular, verrucous, hyperpigmented, and atrophic stages are the four stages of Incontinetia Pigmenti and it is uncommon for all stages to be seen in a same case. It is a rare genodermatosis, with only very few cases of male child with Incontinentia pigmenti have been reported. Thus, we report this case due to its extreme rarity and the child showed all the first 3 stages on followup.

Article Synopsis
  • Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare X-linked dominant disorder linked to the IKBKG gene, and this study highlights the need for more research on its epidemiology in Denmark.
  • A nationwide study identified 75 patients with IP, predominantly females, and estimated the birth prevalence at 2.37 per 100,000 live births, which is significantly higher than previous estimates.
  • The study found that many patients exhibited typical skin lesions and other symptoms affecting teeth, the nervous system, hair, eyes, and nails, indicating a multisystem impact of the disorder.
