Deafness-ichthyosis-keratitis
syndrome: An inherited disorder in which affected persons have
deafness at birth, localized areas of disfiguring reddish thickened
skin (ichthyosis), gradual destruction of the cornea (keratitis) of the
eye sometimes leading to blindness, and thin or even absent scalp
hair. Some patients have developed carcinoma of the tongue while
others have subtle abnormalities of the nervous system. The basis of
the syndrome is still a mystery. It is also called the KID syndrome
(KID standing for keratitis-ichthyosis- deafness).
