Presentation
Epidermal glycogen deposits were present in some patients with the recessive form. Check mouth opening in the presence of perioral skin lesions. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]
Unlike ichtyolis vulgaris, where joint areas are free of lesions [6], these areas were most severely affected in the present patient (Figs. 1, 3, 4). [odermatol.com]
Chromosomes, which are present in the nucleus of human cells, carry the genetic information for each individual. [rarediseases.org]
COVID-19 can present with a wide variety of other symptoms, including neurologic symptoms in up to one-third of adult patients.5 Ageusia and anosmia are some of the most common neurologic presentations of those with COVID-19; however, others include [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

Entire Body System
- Pathologist
His speech pathologist at school helped him practice his part. Although he lost his two front teeth before filming started, he spoke his part like a champ. In a perfect world, kids with special needs in ads would be an ordinary, everyday thing. [lovethatmax.com]
Ears
- Hearing Impairment
Nearly all cases have skin involvement, which includes red, rough, thickened plaques that are sometimes scaling, as well as sensorineural deafness or severe hearing impairment. [rarediseases.org]
impairment and cell death. [link.springer.com]
Congenital sensorineural hearing loss is generally severe and bilateral. The noncutaneous features include bilateral neurosensory hearing impairment, which starts at birth; vascularizing keratitis often develops later in the course. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
- Normal Hearing
The absence of these channels prevents potassium flux between cells of the inner ear, a process necessary for normal hearing. Clinical picture and genetic testing (Cx26 test). [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]
This conversion is essential for normal hearing. In addition, connexin 26 may be involved in the maturation of certain cells in the cochlea. Connexin 26 also plays a role in the growth and maturation of the outermost layer of skin (the epidermis). [medlineplus.gov]
Eyes
- Blepharitis
Eye lesions are progressive and may include blepharitis, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, corneal epithelial defects, scarring, and neovascularization, causing progressive decline of visual acuity and eventually leading to blindness (vascularizing keratitis [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Skin
- Hyperkeratosis
Typical skin changes gradually develop during infancy and include linear and spiny hyperkeratosis of the flexures, and ichthyosis-hystrix-like scaling on the limbs [4]. Scattered follicular hyperkeratosis appears on the trunk. [escholarship.org]
Similarly affected patients described in the literature have the following features in common: (1) a distinctive ichthyosis characterized by a fine dry scale, follicular hyperkeratotic spines, and a reticulated pattern of hyperkeratosis on the palms and [jamanetwork.com]
Systemic retinoids reduce the hyperkeratosis but do not affect the underlying disease mechanism. They may, however, be a good choice to prevent skin cancer. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Keratitis ichthyosis deafness (KID) syndrome Skin lesions in keratitis ichthyosis deafness (KID) syndrome extend to the rest of the head and lead to alpecia and hyperkeratosis. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]
The dermatologic features associated with deafness and GJB2 mutations are also variable: in Vöhwinkel syndrome there is diffuse honeycomb hyperkeratosis of palms and soles with typical starfish keratoses on the dorsum. [genedx.com]
- Alopecia
The skin lesions, described as erythrokeratoderma occurs occasionally with scarring alopecia and are predominantly on the face, palms and soles, with a typical reticulated pattern. [odermatol.com]
Alopecia may be present at birth. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Other features include palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, nail dystrophy, and alopecia (ranging from sparse hair to alopecia totalis) [6]. About half of the patients have sparse scalp hair and sparse or often absent eyebrows and eyelashes [7]. [escholarship.org]
Most patients have partial alopecia, fragile and malformed nails, and small, malformed teeth. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]
Sparse hair or areas of baldness (alopecia) are relatively common, while a complete lack of hair is rare. [rarediseases.org]
- Follicular Plugging
This correlation could be explained by the hyperproliferative state of the epidermis, which occurs in KID syndrome and may favor follicular plugging. [karger.com]

That means that each individual affected with the disease will have one abnormal gene for the disease and one normal gene. When, by chance, the abnormal gene copy is passed on to the offspring, the child will be affected. [rarediseases.org]
- Dry, Scaly Skin
The skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet and the nails may be affected. KID syndrome belongs to a group of skin disorders marked by dry, scaly skin known as the ichthyoses. KID syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. [rarediseases.org]

Workup

Treatment
DISCUSSION Due to its congenital character, treatment of KID syndrome is very difficult and only supportive. Unfortunately, due to it’s severity, skin changes are very resistant to the topical treatment with keratolytic preparations. [odermatol.com]
All issues pertaining to the care of patients with ichthyosis should be discussed with a dermatologist experienced in the treatment of their skin disorder. [firstskinfoundation.org]
Treatment may include medicines or surgery. Cushing syndrome can affect a child's growth, development, and self-esteem. Getting treatment as soon as possible can help lessen problems. [cedars-sinai.org]
The other parent (usually the father) is not involved in the child's treatment, even though the child's condition may be serious. A caregiver suddenly changes doctors and lies about prior testing and treatment. [uofmhealth.org]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology KID syndrome is a rare congenital ectodermal disorder caused by mutations of the GJB2 gene encoding the gap junction protein connexin-26 (Cx26). [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Prevention
Hyperkeratotic, erythematous skin may prevent ECG electrodes or tape from adhering to the skin, thus making the securing of endotracheal tubes and IV catheters difficult. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]
