Congenital erosive and vesicular dermatosis

Definition

A rare, idiopathic skin disease characterized by widespread, congenital, superficial erosions and vesicles (often involving more than 75% of the body) which heal leaving scars with a supple, symmetrical, reticulated pattern, frequently resulting in cicatricial alopecia and hyperthermia and/or hypohydrosis. Nail anomalies, neurodevelopmental and ophtalmologic abnormalities, tongue atrophy and preterm birth, with or without history of choriomnionitis, are commonly associated.
