The epidermal nevus syndromes: multisystem disorders.
The epidermal nevus syndromes are a group of congenital syndromes comprising epidermal nevi in conjunction with central nervous system (CNS), ocular, musculoskeletal, and other organ anomalies. We describe a patient with epidermal nevi and multiple organ abnormalities, highlighting the wide spectrum of involvement in epidermal nevus syndromes, and briefly summarize the literature on these rare syndromes.
