Bart syndrome is a genetic disorder that is characterized by the association of congenital localized absence of the skin (aplasia cutis), blister formation (epidermolysis bullosa), dystrophic nails and lesions of the mouth mucosa. The association of this diseases is considered a variant of aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) with epidermolysis bullosa (EB). The inheritance pattern of Bart's syndrome seems to be autosomal dominant. Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a group of heterogeneous diseases representing failure of the skin to fully develop. Frieden created a classifi cation system for ACC consisting of nine groups based on the number and location of the lesions and the presence or absence of associated malformations. In this report, we present a rare case of Bart syndrome in a newborn female baby with aplasia cutis in the lower extremities associated with lesions of epidermolysis bullosa on the face and on the hand fi ngers fi rst, then located also on the thighs, and dystrophic nails.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
