A further case is reported, that of a six months old female infant who has a characteristic history of inflammatory vesicular lesions present shortly after birth, and fading to leave a brownish marbling of the skin and warty areas on the phalanges. Other defects manifest in this infant include microcephaly, mental retardation, spastic tetraplegia (Little's disease), epileptiform seizures, vulval hirsutism and congenital dislocation of the right hip joint.
