Different manifestations on some ocular and adnexal structures may accompany ichthyosis. Some ophthalmological manifestations in the clinical course of ichthyosis may endanger the eye and even lead to the sight loss. The paper reports a case of a patient with congenital ichthyosiform erythrodermia and ophthalmological manifestations on the lids and cornea. In addition to ichthyosis of the lid skin, squamous blepharitis and cicatricial ectropium of the lower lids were also present, while signs of exposure keratitis on the right eye and corneal leucostaphyloma on the left eye were also noted. Presence of lagophthalmos and permanent exposure of both eyeballs led to deterioration of the condition which may result in the sight loss on the right eye, as well. Therefore, contracture release of both lower lids was performed followed by full-thickness skin graft. Surgical procedure and the postoperative course were uneventful. The operation successfully corrected position of the lower lids and enabled formation and reestablishment of the precorneal tears film which led to improvement of the condition of the cornea. The effect has been maintained for six postoperative years now.

In 1981, the term KID syndrome was suggested for patients with congenital ichthyosis associated with deafness and keratitis. We had a chance to examine the temporal bone of an infant with this syndrome. This patient showed no auditory brain stem response in either ear. Temporal bone studies revealed cochleosaccular abnormality. These findings are offered as a possible explanation for the patient's deafness. The pathologic inner ear findings of congenital deafness syndromes associated with ichthyosis have been heretofore reported in Refsum's syndrome and in a case with universal alopecia. In these cases, the temporal bone pathologic findings were a result of cochleosaccular abnormality. From our case and previous reports, it is suggested that the deafness associated with congenital ichthyosis might be the result of cochleosaccular abnormality.

Extensive cutaneous mycoses have been described in patients with the keratitis, ichthyosis, and deafness (KID) syndrome. We present a case occurring in a 48-year-old woman where improvement in the ichthyosiform dermatosis, stabilization of her ocular disease, and apparent partial prevention of further cutaneous malignancies occurred in association with ketoconazole therapy.

We describe a patient with the keratitis, ichthyosis, and deafness (KID) syndrome who also had a generalized cytomegalovirus infection. Patients with the KID syndrome are susceptible to not only bacterial and fungal infections, but also to viral infections.

We report three patients with keratitis, ichthyosis and deafness (KID)-syndrome. All had characteristic hyperkeratotic skin lesions and neurosensory hearing defects. Two had ophthalmologic symptoms. The third patient did not have eye involvement at the age of 3 years, but exhibited the other typical signs of the syndrome. In none of the three cases were any of the patients' relatives affected, and a spontaneous new mutation is the most likely explanation for the occurrence of this rare syndrome. Histopathological and electron microscopic studies revealed orthohyperkeratosis but no other pathology and no abnormal deposits of glycogen were found. Treatment with the aromatic retinoid etretinate proved to be of little value in any of the patients. The necessity for early audiologic and ophthalmologic evaluation and the need for life-long medical care for patients with KID-syndrome is emphasized.

Keratitis, ichthyosis, and deafness (KID) syndrome in a mother and her daughter is reported. Both patients showed the typical cutaneous abnormality of papillomatous hyperkeratosis, which gave the skin a grainy, rugose, spiculated appearance, together with keratitis with corneal neovascularization and a neurosensory hearing defect. Treatment with etretinate did not benefit the daughter. The mother had marked keratitis with progressive corneal opacification that required repeated bilateral corneal grafts, which were unsuccessful. This is the second report of hereditary transmission of this disorder. An autosomal dominant mode of inheritance is probable.

Electron microscopy performed in a young girl suffering from keratitis, ichthyosis, and deafness syndrome showed pathologic storage of glycogen in various types of tissues. This finding may be interpreted as evidence of an underlying inborn error of metabolism.

An infant with congenital ichthyosis and deafness developed Hirschsprung's disease. No evidence of keratitis was present. No previous cases of ichthyosis have been associated with aganglionic megacolon. Although no corneal changes were observed, we believe that the clinical features of ichthyosis and deafness suggest the diagnosis of KID (keratitis, ichthyosis, deafness) syndrome. Whether corneal changes would have occurred is unknown, since the infant died of malnutrition and infectious complications.

KID (keratitis, ichthyosis, deafness) syndrome is a congenital ectodermal defect of unknown etiology. Although achilles tendon retraction has been seen on several occasions, no other evidence of skeletal, articular or enthesopathic processes has been described. We report a patient with KID syndrome and acroosteolytic changes on radiographs, along with clinical and radiographic evidence of Jaccoud arthropathy.

We describe a rare syndrome in a Finnish family, in which the father and his two sons are congenitally deaf and also exhibit corneal vascularization, and hyperkeratosis of the skin of the palms, soles, elbows and knees. In addition, all 3 suffer from fungal infections of the skin and nails. We also describe a fourth, sporadic case of a 9-year-old girl with the same disease. The KID (k = keratitis, i = ichthyosis, d = deafness) syndrome is an ectodermal dysplasia that probably arises through mutation, and is transmitted as an autosomal dominant in the family described by us.
