We report the case of an infant with Adams-Oliver syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by aplasia cutis congenita, defects of the limbs and extremities, and cutis marmorata telangiectatica. Other associated anomalies have been reported, such as facial dysmorphism, heart defects, and disorders of the central nervous system.

Two cases of aplasia cutis congenita are reported here. One of the cases also had pre- and postaxial polydactyly and other digital anomalies.

Aplasia cutis congenita is a rare disease characterized by absence of skin layers. Usually the scalp is affected, but the whole body can be involved. We report extensive aplasia of a baby born of a HIV-positive mother taking antiretroviral drugs. Conservative treatment was not enough to ensure her survival.

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is alleged to be a side effect of antithyroid therapy during pregnancy. This occurrence is uncommon. Only 24 cases have been reported in the literature. In France, there has been no report by the National Center of Pharmacovigilance since 1985.

Background Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a part of a heterogeneous group of conditions characterized by the congenital absence of epidermis, dermis, and in some cases, subcutaneous tissues or bone usually involving the scalp vertex. There is an estimated incidence of 3 in 10,000 births resulting in a total number of 500 reported cases to date. The lesions may occur on every body surface alth...

cutis laxa (cl) is a rare congenital and acquired disorder characterized by loose and redundant skin with reduced elasticity. three types of congenital cutis laxa have been recognized. other findings are pulmonary emphysema, bronchiectasia, hernia and diverticulosis. we describe a female neonate involved by cutis laxa syndrome and a positive family history. we focus on the radiologic findings o...

UNLABELLED Adams Oliver syndrome (AOS) is a highly variable entity with terminal transverse limb defects (TTLD) and aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) with a wide phenotypic spectrum. Several inheritance models have been observed; the most severe phenotype has been related to an autosomal recessive (AR) pattern of inheritance. OBJECTIVE. To present a family with two half siblings with a severe pheno...
