Restrictive dermopathy – A rare congenital skin disorder

Abstract

Restrictive dermopathy is a rare, autosomal recessive, lethal congenital skin disorder. This congenital genodermatosis could be mistaken for various other similar skin disorders. Diagnosis is a must in the context of genetic counseling for the subsequent pregnancy. We herein report a preterm male neonate with restrictive dermopathy, with additional feature of multiple bone fractures.
