- Genetics
Background:
- Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare group of inherited connective tissue disorders characterized by extreme skin fragility.
- Ocular manifestations in EB can be severe, leading to significant visual impairment if not managed promptly.
Observation:
- This report presents a rare case of epidermolysis bullosa (EB).
- The case highlights the significant ocular manifestations associated with this dermatologic condition.
Findings:
- Ocular and systemic findings in this rare dermatologic condition are presented.
- The patient experienced a poor visual outcome due to delayed presentation after visual system maturation.
Implications:
