ABSTRACT
Netherton syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. Congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (CIE) or ichthyosis linearis circumflexa (ILC), hair shaft abnormalities, and atopic diathesis (elevated serum IgE) characterize it. Netherton syndrome is usually misdiagnosed as atopic dermatitis due to the presence of eczematous skin lesions and allergic problems. We report a case of a twelve-month-old girl misdiagnosed as atopic dermatitis in whom trichoscopy has found bamboo hair aspect making Netherton syndrome diagnosis formal.
