Harlequin fetus: a case report

S Moreau et al. Surg Radiol Anat. 1999.

Abstract

We report a case of harlequin fetus. This very rare cutaneous malformation is a severe form of congenital ichthyosis. This disorder is due to an inborn error of epidermal keratinization. Malformations of ears, nose, and hypoplasia of fingers or nails are seen. This affection is most often lethal.
