Keywords:

Harlequin ichthyosis is the most severe form of congenital ichthyosis and is often fatal in the perinatal stage because rarely survive more than a week. Hart, described the first case in 1750 and to date there are few published cases. We present a case report of a male newborn with 35 weeks of gestation, whose teenage mother did not attend prenatal care, so the diagnosis was made after birth occurred. He was hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit for thermal and electrolyte control and prevention of sepsis of skin origin; however, he died within hours. Although it is a rare entity in clinical practice, the health personnel should know the initial supportive measures to prevent complications and to offer a multidisciplinary approach to these patients.
