Abstract:
We experienced two cases of congenital localized skin defect and neonatal onset of relapsing subepidermal blisters associated with minor trauma in a female newborn infant and her mother. The mother of index case showed toe nail dystrophy at delivery of her daughter, but the index case did not reveal nail dystrophy until 14 months of age. The congenital skin defects healed with hypopigment, and mild atrophic scars and relapsing blisters healed without scars in both mother and daughter. These cases were considered as hereditary Bart's syndrome with respects to family history, clinical manifestations and histopathological findings.
