title: Parenchymal neurocutaneous melanosis in association with intraventricular dermoid and Dandy-Walker variant: a case report.
abstract: Neurocutaneous melanosis (NCM) is a rare congenital disease that is characterized by the presence of large or multiple congenital melanocytic nevi and melanotic lesions of the central nervous system. We report here on the CT and MR imaging findings of an unusual case of NCM that was associated with intraventricular dermoid and Dandy-Walker malformation.
