Síndrome de Múltiples pliegues benignos de la piel de los miembros (síndrome de bebé Michelín)

Abstract

Michelin baby is a rare syndrome characterized by generalized folds of redundant skin. These features can be present alone or be associated with noncutaneous anomalies. The diagnosis is mainly clinical and it probable reflects multiple underlying disorders. Since the first description by Ross in 1969, approximately 20 patients have been reported. This paper describes a case of an 18-month-old girl with increased skin folds associated to facial dysmorphism and development delay, including a small review of the literature to contribute to a better understanding of this syndrome.
