Abstract

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) comprises a heterogeneous group of genodermatoses whose prognosis is variable. The diagnosis is suggested by prenatal ultrasound at signs, especially for junctional EB with pyloric atresia. The authors report a case of antenatal image limited skin undermining highlighted by the ultrasound three-dimensional (3D) in connection with a diagnosis of a congenital epidermolysis simplex confirmed postnatal period.
