Al-Shifa J Ophthalmol Jan ;4(1):36-8.

Purpose: To highlight the ocular complications in children with congenital ichthyosis. Study Design: Case report Case report: We report a 5 days old male infant having severe congenital ectropion and congenital ichthyosis. The case was managed initially by lubricants, taping the eye lids and applying eye pads. Lid suturing was done in the operating room the next day under local anaesthesia. Satisfactory outcome was achieved after 48 hours of lid closure. Ophthalmology follow-up may be required in such patients to monitor any recurrent ectropion or exposure keratitis. Dermatology referral is important.
