- Abstract
Congenital erosions and vesicles that heal with reticulate scarring comprise a new entity first described in 1985 in 3 girls aged 3, 5 and 6 years. Two years later, an 8-year-old boy in whom the skin lesions were accompanied by neurological disorders was described, as in one of the patients described in the 1985 study. In 1990, similar findings were reported in a neonate, and recently the 7th case has been reported in the American literature. We describe an 8-month-old infant born with cutaneous lesions that subsequently formed reticulate scars peculiar to this clinical entity, which is characterized by variable clinical and histological expression.
