Abstract

Cutis laxa syndromes comprise a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by redundant skin with loss of elasticity and variable systemic manifestations. This is a rare syndrome caused by genetics or acquired. Typical symptoms of Cutis laxa are premature aging, wrinkled, and sagging skin. Some associated lesions include: diaphragmatic hernia, inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, chronic cor pulmonale, heart failure, etc. We report a 7-years-old boy diagnosed recurrent umbilical hernia and undescended testis with congenital Cutis laxa syndrome.
