Cutis Laxa: A Report of Two Interesting Cases
A 14-year-old Hindu female presented to us with complaint of ‘loose skin’ on the neck. An itchy eruption had developed on the anterior neck 5 years ago, and it lasted for about a month. Several months later, she noticed that the skin of that area was becoming wrinkled and loose. The wrinkling and looseness progressed for 4 to 5 months after which it became stable. She was otherwise well and had no history of dyspnoea, chest pain, palpitation or visual problems. She was not taking any medication. No similar changes were noted in any other part of her body. Family history of similar skin lesion was absent. Physical examination revealed a circumscribed palm sized area of lax, extensible, wrinkled skin localized to the anterior part of the neck []. Stretching of the skin produced delayed recoil []. No induration was noted. There was no hyper-extensibility of the joints and systemic examination was normal. Slit-lamp examination of the eyes revealed no angioid streaks.
