- Abstract
Harlequin ichthyosis (HI) is a rare and most severe form of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyoses characterized by excessive hyperkeratosis. The skin anomalies affect the shape of eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and distal extremities. Since HI is very fatal, there is a lack of data that documents successful treatment of HI patients with syndactyly. We successfully managed syndactyly in a HI patient by using a conventional method without any complication and we noticed an improvement functionally and aesthetically.
