Congenital ichthyosis is a genodermatosis characterized by abnormal epidermal differentiation. The neonatal period is critical for patients with ichthyosis because of the risk for significant comorbidities and associated mortality, with most complications resulting from impaired barrier function. Early recognition can significantly alter the clinical course of this rare disease. Here we present a neonate with ichthyosis, leukocyte vacuoles, alopecia, and sclerosing cholangitis syndrome (ILVASC), a rare inherited disease, to highlight how an interdisciplinary approach led to prompt assessment, confirmation of a genetic diagnosis and management of potential complications.
