Abstract
Five spontaneously healing collodion babies were recorded in a large Swiss kindred. They all had consanguineous parents. Their distribution in the family indicates autosomal recessive inheritance. At birth they had the typical features of collodion babies. The collodion-like membrane was shed within the first month, leaving a slightly scaly skin for a few weeks. Thereafter the skin remained normal without any evidence of a disorder of cornification.Keywords
