Pressure ulcers have also been reported on the toes, due to the use of oximetry sensors. On the legs, they are often due to the premature use of postural splints.
These ulcers usually improve in a few days after removal of the pressure source and after mechanical or chemical debridement.
66.4.3 The Scalp andBack
The two main causes of scalp NPUs are birth trauma and excessive pressure on the occiput.
Scalp injuries are present in around 15% of babies born using ventouse or forceps [7]. The lesions are often deep and semicircular, leaving a visible area of scarred alopecia.
Figure 66.5 shows a case of scalp lesion sec­ondary to ventouse extraction, which affected a ¾-circular area. Wound healing was obtained after 3 weeks of closely supervised healing by secondary intention and involved additional sur­gical intervention.
Wound healing is usually attained in a few weeks under such supervision. Dressings need to be changed daily and use silver sulphadiazine or hydrogel.
There are other rare locations, which are nev­ertheless worth mentioning. The use of EEG monitoring equipment can cause pressure on the forehead; this can be a source of ulcers, which are sometimes deep. Figure66.6 shows an example of lesions seen in intensive care which caused visible scarring.
In a recent study [5], pressure ulcers on the back of the head were found to represent 14% of all NPUs.
Excessive pressure can cause occipital ulcers, which are sometimes extensive. They affect chil­dren in intensive care or recovery. Catastrophic situations can result from the combined risk fac­tors of mechanical ventilation, sedation, a central

venous line, humidity, the warmth of the incuba­tor, and the baby’s state of shock (see Fig.66.7).
In the baby seen in Fig.66.7, the pressure ulcer was due to prolonged excessive pressure in the context of major cardiac surgery, with prolonged low cardiac output. The child had not been turned because of its haemodynamic instability. Healing was obtained after surgical debridement in the intensive care bed, dressings using negative pres­sure therapy, followed by skin graft on a thin one­layer articial dermis (Matriderm®). One part was closed without tension.

66.5 Conclusion

Neonatal pressure ulcers are specic entities which require special attention from neonatal care teams. The thinness of the stratum corneum makes the skin of the premature and nursing baby particularly vulnerable to pressure. During the critical maturation phase, care teams must remain
with contact involving the cervical spine processes. (c) Closure of the superior area and repeated debridement (×5). (d) Results at 5months after placement of articial dermis and thin skin graft taken from the adjacent scalp

Skin Necrosis inChildren: Genodermatosis
CristinaHas andAgnesSchwieger-Briel

67.1 Introduction

The term genodermatosis comprises a large group of dermatoses caused by genetic defects, including monogenic and mosaic disorders. From the physiopathogenic point of view, various com­partments of the skin can be disturbed, such as intraepidermal or epidermal-dermal adhesion, cornication, DNA repair, the vascular system, etc. The onset of clinical symptoms is most com­monly at birth or during early childhood, and the clinical course is progressive, without spontane­ous healing or remission.
Cutaneous necrosis is a primary manifestation of several disorders reviewed in this chapter. Even though more common in the context of acquired inammatory conditions predisposing to infectious or ischemic necrosis, it can also be a characteristic sign of genetic diseases.

67.2 Genodermatoses that Manifest withCutaneous Necrosis asaLead Symptom

67.2.1 Progeroid Syndromes

67.2.1.1 Hutchinson–Gilford Progeria
Syndrome andMandibuloacral Dysplasia
Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS, OMIM#176670) and mandibuloacral dysplasia with type A lipodystrophy (MADA, OMIM#248370) are allelic disorders that belong to the premature aging syndromes (syn. progeroid syndromes, laminopathies). They are caused by pathogenic variants in the gene for lamin A/C (LMNA), an essential structural component of the nuclear envelope. HGPS is extremely rare occurring in one per 20million newborns due to a de novo mutation. MADA is an autosomal recessive condition.
1. Physiopathogeny and biology:
In HGPS, a recurrent de novo monoallelic variant (c.1824C>T) leads to formation of a truncated prelamin A protein, called progerin, which cannot undergo normal processing to mature lamin A [1]. Normal prelamin A pro­cessing comprises four posttranslational mod­ication steps. Mature lamin A is an intermediate lament protein that is incorpo­rated into the nuclear lamina lament mesh-

work, where it interacts with many proteins important for nuclear structure integrity [1]. In HGPS, progerin accumulates as a farnesyl­ated and methylated intermediate in the nuclear envelope where it is toxic and causes nuclear shape abnormalities and senescence. This is the molecular basis for the polymor­phic disease manifestations in different organs in HGPS.
2. Diagnosis The diagnosis is based on clinical features
and genetic testing. Clinical manifestations are present in early childhood. Life expec­tancy is limited to the second decade of life in HGPS.
Medical context and semiology:
HGPS
(a) Cutaneous features include atrophic,
scleroderma-like skin with progressive loss of subcutaneous fatty tissue, ciga­rette paper-like appearance, clearly visi­ble venous network. Additional manifestations:
(b) Sparse hair, nail anomalies, delayed and
abnormal dentition
(c) Progeroid features: ‘bird’ facies with
sharp, thin nose and micrognathia
(d) Absent sexual secondary characteristics,
high-pitched voice
(e) Growth failure, skeletal anomalies, asep-
tic necrosis of bones reported, acro­osteolysis and osteoporosis
(f) Cardiovascular anomalies (rapidly pro-
gressive atherosclerosis, early myocardial infarction and strokes, hypertension, con­gestive heart failure)
MADA
(a) Cutaneous features include pigmentary
skin changes and lipodystrophy, charac­terized by a marked acral loss of fatty tis­sue with normal or increased fatty tissue
in the neck and trunk. (b) Inconstant progeroid features (c) Growth retardation, mandibular hypopla-
sia, skeletal abnormalities with progres-
sive osteolysis of the distal phalanges and
clavicles
(d) Metabolic complications can arise due to
insulin resistance and diabetes.
On the background of tissue atrophy and vascular changes, skin necrosis and ulcers can occur in both conditions in particular on acral and on bony surfaces.
3. Treatment: There is no cure for these rare disorders,
although many experimental strategies are under research [1]. They include genetic approaches or targeting the level and the post­translational modications of progerin. The treatment of necrosis is symptomatic, aiming at controlling infections, saving tissue, and man­aging wounds. Prevention measures should include careful skin care with moisturizers and avoidance of mechanical pressure and trauma.

67.2.2 Vascular Anomalies

67.2.2.1 Cutis Marmorata
Telangiectatica Congenita (Syn. Congenital Generalized Phlebectasia, Naevus Vascularis Reticularis, Congenital Phlebectasia, Congenital Livedo Reticularis andvan Lohuizen Syndrome)
Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is an uncommon congenital vascular anomaly with features including erythematous­to- violaceous, reticulated, net-like or marbled­appearing patches of skin phlebectasias, and cutaneous and subcutaneous atrophy [2]. It can mimic physiological cutis marmorata (CM) but does not disappear with warming. CMTC may be present in some disorders such as Adams–Oliver syndrome, phakomatosis pigmentovascularis type 5A, and neonatal lupus erythematosus [3]. CMTC is a slow-ow vascular lesion that affects capillaries and venules.
1. Physiopathogeny and biology: CMTC is a mosaic disorder caused by
GNA11 mutations found in skin biopsies from
67 Skin Necrosis inChildren: Genodermatosis
437
CMTC-affected skin areas. The mutation is either not detectable or found at a low level of
0.3% in blood [4].
2. Diagnosis: CMTC is a clinical diagnosis. When suspi-
cion of CMTC is raised, it is recommended to perform a careful evaluation of the patient for associated anomalies, in cases with extensive ndings, ideally in a multidisciplinary team with a pediatrician, dermatologist, ophthalmol­ogist and, if needed, orthopedic surgeon [5].
Medical context and semiology: The most important cutaneous manifesta-
tion of CMTC, the reticulate marbled vascular presentation. CMTC can be localized, segmen­tal or widespread. Atrophy or skin ulceration and lipoatrophy at the sites of vascular dis­coloration, as well as prominent veins, telan­giectasias and hyperkeratosis may be present. Association with limb asymmetry, glaucoma, intellectual disability, patent ductus arteriosus, and arterial stenosis have been reported [2,
3]. A review of the literature found extracu-
taneous anomalies in 42.5% of patients, pre­dominantly body asymmetry and neurological defects like seizure and developmental delay. Fewer patients (10.1%) had ophthalmological defects, usually glaucoma [5].
3. Treatment: Some reports described effective laser
therapy for erythema and ulceration, while other reports stated no effect of laser treat­ment [57]. PDL therapy for this condition shows a variable response, often disappoint­ing. The skin lesions tend to fade with age. The only exception is a capillary malforma­tion of the upper lip, often a feature of this condition, which can respond well to laser treatment [3].

67.2.3 Metabolic Disorders

67.2.3.1 Prolidase Deciency
Prolidase deciency (OMIM#170100) is an inborn metabolic multisystemic disease charac­terized by skin lesions, recurrent infections, dysmorphic facial features, variable intellectual
disability, and organomegaly with elevated liver enzymes. Skeletal anomalies, chronic pul­monary disease, anemia, thrombocytopenia, hypergammaglobulinemia, and hypocomple­mentemia are inconstant features [8]. Prolidase deciency is one of the rare causes of leg ulcers in children [9].
1. Physiopathogeny and biology: Biallelic pathogenic variants in the gene
encoding prolidase are found in affected indi­viduals. Prolidase is an enzyme that cleaves di- and tripeptides containing carboxyl­terminal proline or hydroxyproline [10]. It is a homodimer, with each subunit binding two manganese ions that are required for enzy­matic activity. The enzyme is required in the nal catabolic steps of endogenous and dietary proteins, rich in proline and hydroxyproline, such as collagen. The deciency of prolidase leads to accumulation of imidodipeptides, or peptides with two amino acids, with a C-terminal proline or hydroxyproline [8].
2. Diagnosis: The diagnosis can be established based on
characteristic clinical ndings and imidodi­peptiduria or reduced prolidase enzyme activ­ity. Genetic testing identies biallelic pathogenic variants in PEPD, the gene coding for prolidase.
Medical context and semiology:
(a) Typically severe, chronic, recalcitrant,
and painful skin ulcers of the lower extremities (Fig.67.1) and telangiectasias of the face and hands. A review of the lit­erature identied skin ulcers in 61% of the reviewed cases. The ulcerations may appear on the dorsal part of the foot and on the sole and extend all over the legs, sometimes leading to tendon lesions and severe skin infections. No underlying
vascular anomalies were described [11]. (b) Infections of the skin and respiratory tract (c) Splenomegaly and inconstant
hepatomegaly
3. Treatment:
Skin ulcers require treatment by a wound
care specialist; topical proline (often 5%) or
438
Fig. 67.1 Prolidase deciency
topical 5% proline-5% glycerine ointment applied with dressing changes has been suc­cessful in some affected individuals [12]. Standard treatment should be employed for developmental delay/intellectual disability, seizures, infections, reactive airways disease/ pulmonary hypertension, respectively. One group reported improvement of skin ndings with the use of anticoagulants [13].

67.2.4 Genodermatosis withCutaneous Necrosis asaPossible Complication
67.2.4.1 Inherited Epidermolysis
Bullosa
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) encompasses genetic disorders characterized by skin fragility and blis­tering with a broad range of clinical severity. The main EB types are EB simplex, junctional EB, dystrophic EB, and Kindler EB.Skin necrosis is not a typical feature of EB but may occur in wounded areas in the context of infections (Fig.67.2) [14].
1. Physiopathogeny and biology:
EB is caused by loss of function patho­genic variants in genes encoding structural proteins assuring the mechanical stability of the skin, such as keratins, integrins, collagens, or laminins [15]. Consequently, keratin inter­mediate laments, hemidesmosomes, focal
adhesions, or anchoring brils are weakened. Blistering can be intraepidermal, junctional, dermal, or mixed and results in erosions, ulcerations, or chronic wounds. Congenital absence of the skin is relatively common on lower legs and can be a feature of any type of EB. There is an alteration in the cutaneous microbiome in EB, with loss of species diver­sity and abundance of Staphylococcus [16].
2. Diagnosis: The diagnosis of EB is clinically suspected
based on mechanically induced blistering of the skin and additional cutaneous features as described in detail before [17]. Immunouorescence mapping and genetic testing determine the type and subtype of EB [18].
Medical context and semiology:
(a) Blisters, erosions, ulcerations, and
wounds, depending on the type of EB
(b) Scarring is a main feature of dystrophic
and Kindler EB
67 Skin Necrosis inChildren: Genodermatosis
439
(c) Nail dystrophy is common in junctional
and dystrophic EB
(d) Mucosal membranes are fragile leading
to inammation and scarring, in particu­lar, in dystrophic and Kindler EB
(e) Extracutaneous organ involvement may
occur primary in syndromic EB subtypes or secondary as a complication of severe EB
3. Treatment: Blisters should be lanced; antiseptics
should be used as well as proper wound dress­ings in order to assure uncomplicated healing of the wounds. Mechanical pressure should be avoided in particular on bony body areas. Various cell therapies (e.g., broblasts, mes­enchymal stem cells) administered topically to epidermolysis bullosa wounds in small clinical trials, showed positive effect on wound healing [1923].
Recently, Oleogel-S10 (containing birch
triterpenes, Filsuvez®) [24] was approved by EMA and FDA for the treatment of wounds in junctional and dystrophic epidermolysis bul­losa. Beremagene geperpavec (B-VEC, Vyjuvek®) is the rst gene therapy approved by the FDA for the treatment of cutaneous wounds in patients with dystrophic epider­molysis bullosa. This represents a signicant progress for the treatment of this devastating disease. It is based on non-replicative (nr) recombinant HSV-1 vector containing two copies of the COL7A1 gene [25, 26].

67.2.5 Harlequin Ichthyosis

Harlequin ichthyosis (OMIM#242500) is one of the most severe types of congenital ichthyosis that manifests at birth with tight horny plaques that cover the entire body (harlequin-baby). There is no primary extracutaneous involvement, but skin contractions lead to ectropion, eclabion, ear deformities, and deformities of the hands and feet. Complications occur frequently in infants and include respiratory distress, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, temperature instability,
feeding problems, and bacterial infections, often with fatal consequences. Constriction bands may cause skin necrosis.
1. Physiopathogeny and biology: Harlequin ichthyosis is caused by biallelic
loss of function pathogenic variants in ABCA12, the gene that codes for ATP binding cassette subfamily A Member 12, a glucosyl­ceramide transporter.
2. Diagnosis:
Medical context and semiology:
(a) Harlequin-baby at birth (b) Erythroderma and generalized large
lamellar scales (c) Ectropion, eclabion, ear deformities (d) Severe palmoplantar keratoderma (e) Digital autoamputation [27] (f) Respiratory distress, dehydration, elec-
trolyte imbalance, temperature instability,
feeding problems, and bacterial
infections
3. Treatment
Early administration of oral retinoids (acitretin 1 mg/kg) is effective in shedding and softening of the large scales, reducing the risk of constrictive bands and skin necrosis. In addition, the use of skin moisturizers is man­datory (such as petrolatum).

67.2.6 Olmsted Syndrome

Olmsted syndrome (OS OMIM#614594, #619208, #300918) is a rare genodermatosis classically characterized by the combination of bilateral mutilating transgradient palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) and perioricial keratotic plaques, but which shows considerable clinical heterogeneity. The disease starts usually at birth or in early childhood. Less than 100 cases have been reported worldwide [28].
1. Physiopathogeny and biology: OS is genetically heterogeneous, being
caused by pathogenic variants in three distinct genes TRPV3 (transient receptor potential cat-
440
C. Has and A. Schwieger-Briel
ion channel subfamily V member 3), PERP (TP53 apoptosis effector), or MBTPS2 (mem­brane bound transcription factor peptidase, Site 2). TRPV3 is a thermosensible cation non selective channel, activated by temperature and several chemical ligands, predominately expressed in keratinocytes, and in sensory neurons. MBTPS2 is a zinc metalloprotease essential for cholesterol homeostasis and endoplasmic reticulum stress response [28].
2. Diagnosis:
Medical context and semiology:
(a) Bilateral mutilating transgradient palmo-
plantar keratoderma. Progression of the keratoderma may lead to exion deformi­ties, constrictions of digital bands, and even spontaneous digit amputations.
(b) Perioricial keratotic plaques (mouth,
nose, eyes, genital, anal, ears, navel)
(c) Other features may be nonperioricial
keratotic lesions involving the thighs, arms, elbows, knees, and intertriginous folds; hyperkeratotic linear streaks, fol­licular keratosis, pachyderma, cheilitis, ichthyotic lesions, or chronic blepharitis.
(d) High clinical variability and a wide range
of inconsistent clinical manifestations have been reported [28]
3. Treatment (a) Symptomatic treatments of hyperkerato-
sis include emollients, keratolytics, reti­noids, or corticosteroids, either topical or systemic
(b) Recently, targeted inhibition of the epi-
dermal growth factor receptor and mam­malian target of rapamycin signaling pathways demonstrated signicant improvement of clinical manifestations of OS [29, 30].
1. Physiopathogeny and biology: Patients are lacking the β2-integrin chain
CD18 (ITGB2) of the leukocyte cell adhesion molecule, essential for cell–cell and cell– extracellular matrix interactions. Consequently, the function of granulocytes, monocytes, and lymphocytes is impaired.
2. Diagnosis:
Medical context and semiology:
Newborns often suffer from navel infec-
tions with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, leading to severe skin necrosis. Skin manifestations consist of abscesses, mucosal ulcers, and wound healing defects.
(a) Recurrent, life-threatening bacterial
infections of the skin, mouth, and respira­tory tract
(b) Periodontitis and tooth loss
3. Treatment
(a) Control of infections with antibiotics. (b) Hematopoietic cell transplantation repre-
sents the only cure for LAD-I.

67.2.8 Other Genetic Diseases

Skin necrosis may be a complication of various disorders:
• Autoinammatory disorders who can have
vasculopathies
• Interferonopathies
• Hematologic diseases such as sickle cell ane-
mia cause severe ulcerations
• Genetic primary lymphedema
• Klinefelter syndrome

67.2.7 Leucocyte Adhesion Deciency Type I
Leukocyte adhesion deciency type 1 (LAD-I) (OMIM#116920) includes three types, of which type I is the most common.
Skin necrosis is rare in children and may be a mani­festation of a serious genodermatosis. The diagno­sis should be made based on clinical manifestations and genetic testing. Although specic therapies are lacking, intensive symptomatic management of skin lesions should be the main focus.
