Abstract

Infantile systemic hyalinosis (ISH) is a rare, progressive, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by connective tissue involvement as hyaline deposition in the skin, gastrointestinal tract, muscles, glands, and other organs. We report a child with this rare condition presenting with growth retardation, joint contractures, and intractable diarrhea. Though genetically analyzed, ISH still remains as a poorly understood disease raising concerns during diagnosis and treatment.
