5 patients with ichthyosis had a neurological accompaniment: epilepsy in 4, congenital palpebral ptosis, facial pain and neurosis in 1. In one patient epilepsy was combined with multiple malformations (normal dwarfism, prematurely old face, skeletal abnormalities) and oligophrenia. There was considerable variability genetically: 2 sporadic cases, 1 with X-linked transmission, 1 with autosomal dominant and 1 with apparent autosomal recessive heredity. In one case the co-existence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency provided proof of X-linked transmission. Further study of larger case-series is needed for a better definition of the nosographic and genetic aspects of non blastomatous neuroectodermatoses in which ichthyosis figures.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007057 Ichthyosis Any of several generalized skin disorders characterized by dryness, roughness, and scaliness, due to hypertrophy of the stratum corneum epidermis. Most are genetic, but some are acquired, developing in association with other systemic disease or genetic syndrome. Xeroderma,Ichthyoses,Xerodermas
D008297 Male Males
D008607 Intellectual Disability Subnormal intellectual functioning which originates during the developmental period. This has multiple potential etiologies, including genetic defects and perinatal insults. Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores are commonly used to determine whether an individual has an intellectual disability. IQ scores between 70 and 79 are in the borderline range. Scores below 67 are in the disabled range.

D004827 Epilepsy A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).

D005157 Facial Pain Pain in the facial region including orofacial pain and craniofacial pain. Associated conditions include local inflammatory and neoplastic disorders and neuralgic syndromes involving the trigeminal, facial, and glossopharyngeal nerves. Conditions which feature recurrent or persistent facial pain as the primary manifestation of disease are referred to as FACIAL PAIN SYNDROMES.
