title: Neurocutaneous syndromes.
abstract: Neurocutaneous syndromes are progressive multisystem disorders in which the dermatological findings may be apparent before the neurological signs and symptoms appear. Timely diagnosis is important for early detection of serious complications such as malignancies, for prompt interventions for learning or developmental problems, and for genetic counseling.
