Abstract

The phenotypical profile of cutaneous and ocular manifestations in neurocutaneous syndromes is inconstant. We made a cross-sectional study over 18 months of children with neurocutaneous syndromes aged between 1-15 years. A varied presentation was found. Attention to both the typical but also the rare atypical presentations enhances an early identification of the disorder and therefore opportune management.

Keywords: children; cutaneous manifestation; eye finding; neurocutaneous syndrome; ocular manifestation; skin finding.
