Harlequin-Ichthyosis
Harlequin-type ichthyosis (also known as "Harlequin baby", Harlequin ichthyosis, ichthyosis congenita, Ichthyosis fetalis, keratosis diffusa fetalis, "Harlequin fetus", and "Ichthyosis congenita gravior"), a skin disease, is the most severe form of congenital ichthyosis, characterized by a thickening of the keratin layer in fetal human skin. In sufferers of the disease, the skin contains massive, diamond-shaped scales, and tends to have a reddish color. In addition, the eyes, ears, penis, and the appendages may be abnormally contracted. The scaly keratin greatly limits the child's movement. Because of resultant cracked skin in locations where normal skin would fold, it is easily pregnable by bacteria and other contaminants, resulting in serious risk of fatal infection.

Re: Harlequin-Ichthyosis
the 9th from the top looks just like the one on this page and it says it is harlequins. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jgmundi...57606469597633 (photo can not be be copied. well i could with my screen cap program but i don't particularly want to go to court for violating their precious rites to their damned picture that they probably stole to begin with.) doesn't look at all like anencephaly to me. but i'm no expert. but i'll put my chips on harlequins. |
