RESUMEN
Arachnoid cysts are congenital lesions arising from the arachnoid membrane. The incidence of arachnoid cysts in the general population is around 0.1% and their most common location is the middle fossa. Arachnoid cysts usually present during the childhood and are identified incidentally. When symptomatic, the most common presentations include headache and seizure. The popular treatment for this lesion is surgery.

RESUMEN
Harlequin ichthyosis is one of the most severe congenital skin cornification disorders with an incidence rate of about 1 in 300,000 births and characteristic clinical features. We report two cases of harlequin ichthyosis [HI] or harlequin fetus [HF], which were products of consanguineous union. Clinical examination showed typical features of harlequin ichthyosis, with the presence of plaques with diamond-like configuration, external ear anomaly, severe ectropion and eclabium, and rigid semi flexion of limbs
