Abstract
Cutis laxa is an acquired or inherited disorder of connective tissue characterized by wrinkled and inelastic skin. This is attributed to inborn errors of elastin synthesis and structural defects of extracellular matrix proteins. The inherited form of cutis laxa is uncommon as compared to the acquired form. We present a ten months boy of autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 1 with pulmonary involvement.
Keywords: cutis laxa, recessive, sagging skin, type 1.
