Abstract
A child presented with generalized ichthyosis, delayed motor and mental milestones, abdominal distension, myopia, sensorineural hearing loss and recurrent attacks of myalgia. He also had hypertriglyceridemia and elevated liver enzymes. His brother was similarly affected, and both had a history of erythroderma at birth. Findings of the blood film exposed the definite diagnosis.
