We report on a 34-week-old infant with restrictive dermopathy (RD), a rare lethal genodermatosis, characterized by an abnormal skin growth and differentiation with thin, tightly adherent skin that causes a dysmorphic face, generalized flexion joint contractures, and respiratory insufficiency. Kaplan-Meier analysis of 32 previously well-described infants affected with RD showed a median survival of 132 hours. Lethal congenital contractural syndromes, including Pena-Shokeir phenotype, cerebro-oculo facio-skeletal syndrome, and lethal multiple pterygium syndrome, should be considered first in the differential diagnosis. Other lethal contractural syndromes are discussed.
