Case ReportsHarlequin Fetus in a Twin Pregnancy: An Extremely Rare Presentation.
Harlequin ichthyosis (HI) is a rare fatal type of congenital ichthyosis with autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. We report an uncommon presentation of a case of HI in a neonate, who was the second outcome of the dizygotic twin pregnancy of a Pakistani female. ⋯ Although very few cases of HI from Pakistan have been reported in the past; but this case being one of the outcomes of twin pregnancy is unique in its presentation; and to the best of authors' knowledge, has not been reported earlier. Key Words: Harlequin ichthyosis, Autosomal recessive, Congenital ichthyosis, Twin pregnancy.
