Ichthyoses and hyperkeratotic disorders.
Many of the ichthyotic disorders have characteristic ocular findings. These disorders include X-linked ichthyosis, lamellar ichthyosis, Sjögren-Larsson syndrome, KID syndrome, Refsum's disease, neutral lipid storage disease, chondrodysplasia punctata, and Richner-Hanhart syndrome. A knowledge of the ocular manifestations may provide a valuable aid to diagnosis in difficult cases. In some cases, knowledge of the ocular complications results in early referral for optimal ophthalmologic care.
