title: [Neurologic aspects of Ito's hypomelanosis].
abstract: Hypomelanosis of Ito (incontinentia pigmenti achromians) is a neurocutaneous syndrome consisting of bizarre, patterned, macular hypopigmentation over variable portions of the body surface. Associated defects in other systems occur, commonly in the central nervous system, in a significant percentage of affected individuals. Six children affected by hypomelanosis of Ito are presented. Similarities and differences between hypomelanosis and incontinentia pigmenti and systematized achromic nevus are discussed.
