The authors reported a case of Netherton's syndrome. This patient presented cutaneous lesions of ichthyosis linearis circumflexa, tricorrexis invaginata and atopy signs associated with cystinuria. Cutaneous and hair lesions were treated with etretinate.

Netherton syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by erythroderma, ichthyosis linearis circumflexa, atopy, failure to thrive and a specific hair shaft abnormality called trichorrhexis invaginata or bamboo hair, considered pathognomonic. We report the case of a 4-year-old boy with erythroderma since birth, growth deficit and chronic diarrhea. Trichoscopy was used to visualiz...

Netherton syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by congenital ichthyosis, trichorrhexis invaginata, and atopic diathesis. Ichthyosis presents at birth with erythroderma and subsequently evolves into ichthyosis linearis circumflexa; hair shaft abnormalities tend to present later. The disorder is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the SPINK5 (serine protease ...

assumed to be 286 km. sec.1in direction of 550 longitude6 is allowed for, very little change is brought about in the results of the computation. The velocity of the clouds then proves to be 90 km. sec.-' radially, and 583 km. sec. -1 tangentially, with respect to this center and no appreciable change takes place in the constants of the hyperbolic or elliptic orbits. The plane of the orbit, howe...
