Incontinentia Pigmenti


MM Perlman

Abstract

A case of incontinentia pigmenti in a 1-month-old infant girl is described. The patient had an associated raised alkaline phosphatase level, hyperphosphataemia, as well as abnormalities of the plasma proteins. These may possibly be a feature of incontinentia pigmenti. It is suggested that biochemical abnormalities should be sought in future cases of this syndrome.
