Ichthyosis vulgaris (also known as "autosomal dominant ichthyosis" [1] and "Ichthyosis simplex" [1]) is a skin disorder causing dry, scaly skin. It is the most common form, and one of the mildest forms, of ichthyosis , [ 2 ] [ 3 ] : 486 affecting around 1 in 250 people. [ 4 ]
Treatments may include moisturizing cream, antibiotics, etretinate or retinoids. [3] [5] Around half of those affected die within the first few months; [7] however, retinoid treatment can increase chances of survival. [9] [8] Children who survive the first year of life often have long-term problems such as red skin, joint contractures and ...
Ichthyosis (also named fish scale disease) [1] is a family of genetic skin disorders characterized by dry, thickened, scaly skin. [2] The more than 20 types of ichthyosis range in severity of symptoms, outward appearance, underlying genetic cause and mode of inheritance (e.g., dominant, recessive, autosomal or X-linked). [3]
Neonatal ichthyosis–sclerosing cholangitis syndrome (also known as "NISCH syndrome" [1] and "ichthyosis–sclerosing cholangitis syndrome" [1]) is a cutaneous condition which is characterized by hypotrichosis of the scalp, alopecia, ichthyosis and sclerosing cholangitis. [2]
Ichthyosis prematurity syndrome (IPS) is a dermatological disease with known genetic causes. This syndrome is a rare subcategory of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI). [ 1 ] It is associated with complications in the mid-trimester of a pregnancy leading to premature births. [ 2 ]
Sjögren–Larsson syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive form of ichthyosis with neurological symptoms. [ 1 ] : 485 [ 2 ] : 564 [ 3 ] It can be identified by a triad of medical disorders. The first is ichthyosis , which is a buildup of skin to form a scale-like covering that causes dry skin and other problems.
Survival rates based on the severity of the case have varied from 10 months to 25 years with supportive treatment. The oldest person in the united states with Harlequin Ichthyosis is 23 year old Stephanie Turner. [10] She was also the first person to have a child with this condition. She has two children and neither have the condition.
Keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness syndrome (KID syndrome), also known as ichthyosiform erythroderma, corneal involvement, and deafness, presents at birth/infancy and is characterized by progressive corneal opacification, either mild generalized hyperkeratosis or discrete erythematous plaques, and neurosensory deafness.
