title: Linear nevus sebaceous syndrome in a patient with atypical associated abnormalities.
abstract: A 3-year-old girl was diagnosed as having linear nevus sebaceous syndrome. The nevus sebaceous was located on the left side of the face and neck. An unusually large lacrimal gland was completely ectopic below the entire left conjunctiva, with secondary ectropion of the left upper eyelid. The patient had the unusual finding of dentigerous cysts in both maxillary sinuses. Computed tomography scan showed atrophy of the left cerebral hemisphere, accompanied by a history of seizures; furthermore, the patient was mentally retarded. This phenotypic pattern of linear nevus sebaceous syndrome is typical for patients with multiple associated abnormalities.
