Abstract

Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare, X-linked dominant disorder that presents at or soon after birth and presents with cutaneous signs and symptoms. Besides its typical skin signs presenting in all patients, central nervous system (CNS), ophthalmologic and dental involvement are encountered as well.
