Ulerythema Ophryogenes: A Case Study of a Child with Ectodermal Defects

The document discusses a case of a child with ulerythema ophryogenes, characterized by the absence of eyebrow hair and erythema in the supraorbital areas from birth. Despite some initial hair growth, the condition progressed with atrophy and sclerosis. The child also has other ectodermal defects, including dentigenous cyst, keratosis pilaris, and an area resembling lichen spinulosus. Additionally, the child shows signs of atopy, emotional disturbance, large venous lakes, and possibly vitamin A absorption deficiency. Treatment with elevated serum vitamin A levels for six months did not improve the skin condition.
