    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Genetics
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Epidermolysis bullosa letalis (EBL) is a severe, rare genetic skin disorder.
    • Ocular manifestations in EBL are uncommon but can be devastating.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To document and describe the detailed ocular pathology in a unique case of EBL.
    • To contribute to the understanding of systemic complications in EBL.

    Main Methods:

    • Histopathological examination of ocular tissues.
    • Detailed clinical observation and documentation.

    Main Results:

    • Significant ocular findings included edema of the trabecular meshwork, ciliary body, lens, and optic nerve.
    • Iris exhibited edema cysts; retina showed complete detachment and focal necrosis.
    • Retinal pigment epithelium detachment and necrosis, with Bruch's membrane breaches, and choroidal edema/congestion were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Epidermolysis bullosa letalis can lead to severe and widespread ocular damage.
    • Comprehensive ophthalmological evaluation is crucial in managing patients with EBL.
