title: Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging in a 2-year-old Caucasian girl, with hypomelanosis of Ito.
abstract: Hypomelanosis of Ito is a rare sporadic neurocutaneous disorder. CNS abnormalities are observed in more than 50% of the cases. A case of hypomelanosis in a 2 year old girl is reported. MRI is unusual in the fact that it shows symmetrical abnormalities: non-obstructive hydrocephalus, mega cisterna magna and multiple white matter lesions.
