Abstract:
Apert's syndrome is an uncommon disease characterized by synostosis of extremities, vertebrae and skull. A clear association between Apert's syndrome and acne vulgaris with resistance to usual acne treatments has been described. A case of Apert's syndrome treated with oral isotretinoin with good results is reported and the pathogenic mechanisms of acne in this syndrome are discussed.
