harlequin fetus

harlequin fetus
a fetus covered with thick, horny armorlike plates as a result of an autosomal recessive keratinizing disorder; it may also be a severe form of collodion baby or it may represent the extreme form of lamellar ichthyosis. Babies born with this condition usually are stillborn or die within days after birth.
