Bilateral Severe Ectropion and Mature Cataract in Lamellar Ichthyosis

ABSTRACT

Lamellar ichthyosis is a rare, autosomal recessive, genetically heterogeneous skin disorder caused by mutations in the transglutaminase-1 gene. Eye abnormalities include bilateral ectropion of lower lids, chronic blepharitis and rarely cataract. A case of lamellar ichthyosis with bilateral lower lid ectropion and bilateral mature cataract is hereby presented for its rarity.
