title: A profound case of linear epidermal nevus in a patient with epidermal nevus syndrome.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Epidermal nevus syndrome is a multi-system disease with a wide spectrum of clinical presentation. Numerous specialists may be required to address its extra cutaneous manifestations.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a severe case of epidermal nevus syndrome involving the oral cavity, pharynx, and central nervous system in addition to disfiguring skin lesions.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Dermatologists are in a unique position to first render the diagnosis of epidermal nevus syndrome for young patients and ensure appropriate follow-up.
