Abstract
A 10-day-old female infant presented with skin erosion and
atrophy of the left leg, accompanied by an absence of most
fingernails, evident since birth. In addition, she developed flaccid
bullae and erosions at the sites of trauma. On the basis of these clinical
findings, the patient was diagnosed with Bart syndrome, a rare type
of genodermatosis characterized by the clinical triad of aplasia cutis
congenita, epidermolysis bullosa, and nail abnormalities.
