Collodion baby is a distinct subset of neonatal erythroderma that can be a clinical marker for a variety of underlying abnormalities. The phenotype includes parchment-like hyperkeratosis, pseudocontractures, ectropion, eclabium, absence of eyebrows, and sparse hair. Asymmetric crying facies is caused by congenital hypoplasia or agenesis of the depressor anguli oris muscle. Associations of this facial defect with major congenital anomalies have been reported, most commonly in the cardiovascular system, less frequently involving the genitourinary, musculoskeletal, cervicofacial, and respiratory systems, and rarely the endocrine system. We report a newborn with a collodion membrane and asymmetric crying facies. To the best of our knowledge, this association has not been previously published.
火棉胶婴儿是新生儿红皮病的一个独特亚型，可作为多种潜在异常的临床标志。其表型包括羊皮纸样角化过度、假性挛缩、睑外翻、唇外翻、无眉毛和毛发稀疏。不对称哭脸是由降口角肌先天性发育不全或缺失引起的。这种面部缺陷与主要先天性畸形的关联已有报道，最常见于心血管系统，较少累及泌尿生殖系统、肌肉骨骼系统、颈面部和呼吸系统，很少累及内分泌系统。我们报告一例患有火棉胶膜和不对称哭脸的新生儿。据我们所知，这种关联此前尚未见报道。
