Review and Report of a Case. Discussion of Relationship to Certain Other Skin Disorders and Association With Internal Abnormalities

DENNIS D. DAVENPORT, MD

Arch Dermatol. 1964;89(1):74-80.

Abstract
This child has ulerythema ophryogenes which began to be manifest at birth by absence of eyebrow hair and the presence of erythema in the supraorbital areas. While there was an appearance of a few normal eyebrow hairs later, atrophy and sclerosis have been slowly progressive. This patient exemplifies the association of various other ectodermal defects: dentigenous cyst, red keratosis pilaris of Bazin, typical keratosis pilaris of the extremities, and an area of the chin simulating lichen spinulosus. In addition, the child exhibits atopy, an emotional disturbance, large venous lakes in the midportion of the parietal bones, and probably a deficient absorption of vitamin A. There was no improvement in the skin disease when the serum vitamin A levels were kept elevated for six months by means of intramuscular injections of vitamin A.
