ABSTRACT

Introduction: “Collodion baby” refers to a group called congenital ichthyosis, which has an autosomal recessive inheritance. We present a recurrent case of congenital ichthyosis in the same family, which rarely occurs. Clinical case: Female newborn of 37 weeks gestation, product of second pregnancy. Parents were consanguineous, in fourth grade. Their first daughter was diagnosed with ichthyosis and died three months later. The current newborn was hospitalized in the Neonatal Unit since at birth a skin collodion membrane was detected. With this condition it was suspected a form of congenital ichthyosis, probably of the laminar ichthyosis type. The patient was handled with precautions of contact, analgesia and lubrication of the skin. She evolved with peeling and increased fissures, which subsequently began to decrease and a residual membrane remained; she was discharged from the hospital without problems. Conclusions: Congenital ichthyosis is a rare condition, but since it has certain particular clinical data, the diagnosis can be reached. Genetic counseling is essential for families to know the risk of presentation in their offspring.
