[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.
