Abstract
A variety of diseases can cause vesicular or pustular eruptions in newborns. A thorough clinical history and physical exam provide important clues for differential diagnosis. Goltz syndrome, also known as focal dermal hypoplasia, is a rare genodermatosis and generally diagnosed by the presence of the characteristic skin lesions. We present an infant with aplasia cutis, atrophic skin lesions, syndactyly and eye abnormalities who was diagnosed with Goltz syndrome soon after birth. Goltz syndrome should be considered in differential diagnosis of hypoplastic or aplastic skin lesions in neonates in the presence of skeletal or ophthalmic anomalies.
