Abstract | A 30-year-old lady in her first pregnancy was referred for flattened
facial profile with suspected thickening of skin on prenatal scan.
Anomaly scan at 20 weeks was normal. Ultrasound at 30 weeks
of gestation showed retracted fetal lips with exposure of gum and
flattened of nose. Harlequin ichthyosis was suspected.
The patient had medical induction for preterm prelabour rupture
of membranes at 35 weeks of gestation. A baby boy weighing 2405
gram was delivered by Caesarean section for failed induction. The
baby suffered from catheter related sepsis, eye infection and joint
contractures in the neonatal period. Genetic work up confirmed
Harlequin ichthyosis with both parents being heterozygous carriers
of ABCA12 gene mutation.
Harlequin ichthyosis is one of the three major types of autosomal
recessive congenital ichthyosis. Other two are lamellar ichthyosis
and congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma. Preimplantation genetic
diagnosis is possible following identification of ABCA12 gene.
Features on prenatal ultrasound includes flat nose, short neck, thick
lips, eclabium, hypertelorism, open eyes ectropion and fixed flexion
of extremities. The foot length could be short because of restrictive
dermopathy.
Use of systemic retinoids accelerates the shedding of hyperkeratoic
plates and improves scaling. Together with enhanced moisturisation,
electrolyte care, sepsis prevention & physiotherapy, survival of 81%
has been reported. |
