“…Review of the literature suggests that two clinical patterns occur (18), In type I, ill-defined areas of loose skin appear in an insidious, progressive manner and are associated with a predictable set of internal manifestations, namely, emphysema, gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract diverticula, and aortic involvement. Table 1 summarizes the clinical features of our patient and 20 well-described cases of type 1 cutis laxa (2,3,5,11,(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31), This form of disease usually has its onset in adulthood, although the pediatric age group is not exempt. Five children, ages 5 to 13 years, have been reported to date (3.…”

“…C'est ainsi qu'on a parlé tan tô t de l'élastorrhéxie, tantôt de l'épaississement et de l'aug m entation du nombre des fibres élastiques. De la même manière a été appréciée la situation des fibres collagènes ou l'existence des infiltra tions cellulaires [3,23,25,27,43,47,53]. Il faut dire que les images microscopiques que nous avons rencontrées dans les biopsies préle vées du malade qui fait l'objet des observations présentes, nous ont permis de rem arquer une atteinte globale des tissus de la peau.…”
