Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome: Cutaneous, Laboratory, and Radiologic Findings: A Case Report

Abstract

Aicardi-Goutières syndrome is a primarily autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital encephalopathy, basal ganglia calcifications, elevated interferon-alpha in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, and negative studies for intrauterine infections that can mimic the syndrome. Cutaneous manifestations include pernio, photosensitivity, and cutaneous vasculitis. We present a case of Aicardi-Goutières syndrome to increase awareness of the disorder and its possible relation to systemic lupus erythematosus.
