abstract: A newborn had a tight, dry skin with multiple fissures, an eclabium and ectropion. Breathing was compromised and regulation of body temperature was impaired. We described the patient as a 'collodion baby'. After genetic investigation the diagnosis congenital ichtyosis, recessive type 1 was made. At 12 months of age, the skin symptoms were significantly diminished.
