    Journal Francais D'Ophtalmologie
    |January 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Posterior embryotoxon arcs were more common in patients with X-linked ichthyosis and carriers compared to controls. This finding was statistically significant for X-linked ichthyosis patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Genetics
    • Dermatology

    Context:

    • Ichthyosis is a group of genetic skin disorders.
    • X-linked ichthyosis (XLI) affects males, with females as carriers.
    • Ocular findings in ichthyosis are not well-documented.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the prevalence of posterior embryotoxon arcs in patients with X-linked ichthyosis, female carriers, and ichthyosis vulgaris.
    • To compare these findings with control groups.

    Summary:

    • Slit-lamp examinations were performed on 17 XLI patients, 11 female carriers, and 9 ichthyosis vulgaris patients.
    • Posterior embryotoxon arcs were observed more frequently in all ichthyosis groups than in controls.
    • A statistically significant higher incidence of posterior embryotoxon arcs was found specifically in X-linked ichthyosis patients.

    Impact:

    • Suggests a potential association between X-linked ichthyosis and posterior embryotoxon.
    • Highlights the need for ophthalmological screening in XLI patients.
    • Contributes to understanding the ocular manifestations of ichthyosis.
