Kindler syndrome is a rare subtype of inherited epidermolysis bullosa. A 42-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with a complaint of tooth mobility. Multiple hypo- and hyperpigmented macules dissipated all over her body, prominent poikilodermatous changes, xerosis of the skin, and atrophy were seen in the clinical extraoral examination. Intraoral examination showed atrophy of the buccal mucosa, limited oral opening, epidermal tissue easily separated from the connective tissue, painful ulcers of the hard palate, severe periodontitis, and keratosis of the lips. All of the teeth showed mobility. After dermatologist consultation, the diagnosis of the patient was clinically identified as “Kindler syndrome.” All of her teeth were extracted due to her progressive periodontal disease and late admission to our clinic. Periodontal treatment might be effective in treating and controlling oral symptoms related to the syndrome and in improving the patient’s quality of life.

We report the case of a 28-year-old woman with Kindler syndrome, a rare form of epidermolysis bullosa. Clinically, since childhood, she had widespread pigmentary changes in her skin as well as photosensitivity and fragility of the skin and mucous membranes. The mucosal involvement led to an erosive stomatitis as well as esophageal, anal and vaginal stenoses, requiring surgical intervention. The diagnosis of Kindler syndrome was confirmed by DNA sequencing with compound heterozygosity for a nonsense/frameshift combination of mutations (p.Arg110X; p.Ala289GlyfsX7) in the FERMT1 gene.

The Kindler syndrome, the fourth major type of hereditary epidermolysis bullosa (HEB), is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatoses, characterized by trauma-induced blistering, cutaneous atrophy, and progressive poikiloderma, in association with mucosal inflammation. We report tow new sibling cases of this rare syndrome.

This chapter reviews the congenital blistering syndromes. These include the many forms of epidermolysis bullosa (EB) of which the simplex form is the most common. Junctional and dystrophic EB and Kindler syndrome are the other major types of EB. The differential also includes Peeling Skin syndrome and other common forms of neonatal blisters due to infection, maternal disease or other genetic disorders. Genetic sequencing panels are rapidly replacing dermatopathology in the diagnosis of these complex and overlapping conditions. Multidisciplinary care is necessary for severely affected infants and some disorders are lethal in the neonatal period. The clinical case presentation features an infant with autosomal recessive lethal acantholytic epidermolysis bullosa.
