Harlequin fetus.
We report a case of harlequin fetus born to the consanguineous parents. She had the typical skin manifestations of thick armour like scales with fissures, complete ectropion and eclabium, atrophic and crumpled ears and swollen extremities with gangrenous digits. Supportive treatment was given but the neonate died on the 4th day.
