Pseudoxanthoma elasticum causes abnormal skin laxity. This case study presents a lower face and neck skin laxity treatment using cutaneous rhytidectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare genetic disorder.
  • PXE affects the elastic fibers in the skin, eyes, and cardiovascular system.
  • Abnormal skin laxity is a characteristic manifestation of PXE.

Observation:

  • A case of significant lower face and neck skin laxity attributed to PXE is detailed.
  • The patient presented with characteristic clinical features of pseudoxanthoma elasticum.

Findings:

  • Cutaneous rhytidectomy was performed to address the skin laxity.
  • The surgical intervention aimed to improve the aesthetic and functional aspects of the affected area.

Implications:

  • This case highlights rhytidectomy as a potential treatment for PXE-related skin laxity.

  • Further research may explore surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction in PXE cases.
  • Understanding treatment options can improve quality of life for individuals with PXE.
