title: [Cicatricial ectropion and ichthyosis. Apropos of 4 cases].
abstract: Ichthyosis are dystrophic inheritance skin disorders with inconstant palpebral complications like cicatricial ectropion and lagophthalmos due to large skin retractions. The authors report two cases of cicatricial ectropion in two adults. For one of the two cases, it is the first description to our knowledge of cicatricial ectropion associated with ichthyosis vulgaris sex-linked. The authors, after a short description of physiopathology and of classification of the different types of ichthyosis describe the surgical treatment with skin grafts, with good results in the first post operative period only in two adults. The two newborns had good results with medical treatment only.
