KID syndrome is a congenital disorder combining keratitis, ichthyosis, and deafness. Herein, we report a case diagnosed in adulthood. A 29-year-old male patient with deafness and progressive loss of visual acuity in early childhood was consulted because of generalized scaly lesions that worsened over time. A skin examination revealed large blackish ichthyosiform scaly patches on the limbs, marked follicular keratosis on the trunk, palmoplantar keratoderma, small papules, sometimes hyperpigmented, on the mediofacial area, and significant xerosis. Dental anomalies such as malocclusion and several decayed teeth were present. The combination of ichthyosis lesions, deafness, and visual abnormalities led to the diagnosis of KID syndrome. Emollients and keratolytics were applied with a slight improvement in the skin lesions. The uniqueness of this observation was the late diagnosis of KID syndrome. Ichthyosis associated with neurosensory deficits should evoke KID syndrome despite the difficulty of molecular diagnosis in developing countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
