Vohwinkel syndrome is a diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma associated with sensorineural deafness. One of the identifiable characteristics of the disorder is the constriction bands of the digits, leading to autoamputation (pseudoainhum). Vohwinkel syndrome is caused by GJB2 mutations, and its variant that is linked to loricrin also has a feature of ichthyosis.
