Rare ocular manifestations in keratosis follicularis (Darier–White disease)

Abstract

Keratosis follicularis (Darier's disease) is a rare (1 in 30,000–100,000) genetic autosomal-dominant predominantly dermatological disorder characterized by hyperkeratosis and acantholysis due to a defective calcium transport in the cells. Ocular findings, if present, are very rare in this condition. Here, we are reporting a case of keratosis follicularis (Darier's disease) with ocular manifestations that have not been reported so far to the best of our knowledge.
