[Congenital cutis laxa]. / Cutis laxa connatal.

ABSTRACT

A case of connatal flabby skin or generalized dermatochalasia without genetical familial background is presented. The cutaneous clinic is striking to which pulmonary emphysema with overcharge of the right heart is added. By optical and electronic microscopy the characters of elastic fibers are studied which show diminished with orceing with a normal microfibrilar component lacking the amorphous element or elastine with the electronic microscope. The formation of the dense normal element also appears compromized .
