Surgical release of constrictive plaques in harlequin ichthyosis can prevent tissue injury. This case report details the perioperative and intraoperative considerations for this rare but critical intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Harlequin ichthyosis is a severe genetic skin disorder.
  • Limb constriction in harlequin ichthyosis can lead to necrosis and auto-amputation.
  • Surgical release of constrictive plaques is a potential intervention.

Observation:

  • A case of harlequin ichthyosis requiring surgical intervention for limb constriction is presented.
  • The patient experienced tissue injury due to constrictive plaques.
  • Early surgical consultation was deemed crucial.

Findings:

  • The report details the risks, indications, and timing of surgical intervention.
  • Perioperative and intraoperative considerations for surgical release were analyzed.
