[Corneal lesions in ichthyosis].

Corneal lesions in ichthyosis, here combined with alopecia, are rarely described in the literature. The present observation relates to two sisters, whose grandparents were siblings. The mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive, as is usual in ichthyosis congenita but is also observed in ichthyosis vulgaris. The clinical picture and the histological findings correspond to ichthyosis vulgaris.

[Corneal lesions in ichthyosis (author's transl)].

The authors report about observations they made in two sisters. One sister showed a fibroid degeneration of the cornea, the other a band-shaped keratopathy respectively, together with an ichthyosis and an alopecia as a result of capillary fractures due to pili torti. An autosomal recessive hereditary transmission could be determined. The cutaneous lesion is either an ichthyosis vulgaris, the hereditary transmission of which could not yet be confirmed, or it is a transition form of ichthyosis vulgaris and congenita.
