Cutis Laxa (CL) / generalized elastolysis / dermatomegaly is a heterogeneous group of disorders which are related to elastic tissue abnormalities. Depending on extent of abnormal elastic tissue, it may be mild or severe. Severe form presents with loose, inelastic, wrinkled skin resembling ill tted suit. Infant has characteristic facial features like old man appearance, a hooked nose, a short columella, a long upper lip with long philtrum, and everted lower eyelids. CL is categorised as congenital or acquired and the inheritance can be autosomal dominant or recessive, or X linked. Occasionally a few metabolic disorders like Menkes disease, disorders of glycosylation are associated with Congenital CL. Acquired cutis laxa has developed after a febrile illness and various inammatory skin diseases. Here we present a case of a full-term SGA (small for gestational age) female child born with features of CL.
