[Incontinentia pigmenti: case report].
IP is an uncommon X-linked dominant disorder (incidence: 1/40.000 newborn). It is caused by mutations in NEMO. It is characterized by cutaneous lesions and dental, ocular, neurologic, nails, hair disorders. The ocular and neurologic sequelae represent the major morbidity in IP. We present a case-report with classical cutaneous features diagnostic for IP. The clinical, ophtalomologic and neurologic examinations revealed no other pathological manifestations.
