Absent skin at birth with blistering: Bart's Syndrome?

Abstract

Bart's Syndrome is a disorder characterised by aplasia cutis congenita and epidermolysis bullosa. We report a case of a 4-day-old baby who had absent skin over the legs along with blistering and nail dystrophy. The diagnosis of Bart's Syndrome was made based on history and clinical examination. However, detailed investigations and histopathological confirmation is needed for final diagnosis. The management is conservative and needs multidisciplinary support.
