Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Congenital hemidysplasia with ichthyosiform erythroderma and limb defects (also known as CHILD syndrome) is a genetic disorder with onset at birth seen almost exclusively in females.:485 The disorder is related to CPDX2, and also has skin and skeletal abnormalities, distinguished by a sharp midline demarcation of the ichthyosis with minimal linear or segmental contralateral involvement.1:501, There is currently no treatment for CHILD syndrome so any treatment would target the symptoms currently present. Emoillents like Lac-Hydran (ammonium lactate) and Ureaphil (urea) are used to treat scaly patches on the skin. A pediatric orthopedic surgeon can evaluate any underdevelopment in the bones and treat them if necessary. CHILD syndrome is not fatal unless there are problems with the internal organs.
