Each section provides a description of the disease, its pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and general treatment principles, followed by a description of the ocular and dermal manifestations and a management plan. Full-color photographs show the classic presentations of clinical entities, and relevant oculodermal references for each entity are included.
