CHILD syndrome is a rare unilateral icthyosiform naevus, characterized by congenital hemidysplasia with icthyosiform erythroderma and limb defect. It is inherited as X- linked dominant trait with lethality for male embryo. We report a case of 9-year-old female child with right sided patchy psoriasiform epidermal nevus and ipsilateral limb defect. The rarity of the syndrome prompted us to report this case.
