Abstract
We report on an infant with Neu‐Laxova syndrome [Neu et al, 1971; Laxova et al, 1972; Povysilova et al, 1976; Lazjuk et al, 1979; Scott et al, 1981; Fitch et al, 1982; Mueller et al, 1983; Turkel et al, 1983; Paes et al, 1985], and emphasize the ichthyotic skin lesions as a prominent characteristic change in this syndrome and as the probable cause of some of the other findings. Also, we call attention to the increased fatty tissue beneath the epidermis and the atrophic muscles there embedded. These findings should be considered in the diagnosis of this syndrome.Keywords
