Hypomelanosis of Ito and Hemimegalencephaly

Abstract

Hypomelanosis of Ito is characterized by unilateral or bilateral macular hypopigmented whorls, streaks, and patches. Abnormalities of the eyes, musculoskeletal system, and central nervous system may also be present. Hemimegalencephaly is a congenital brain malformation characterized by unilateral enlargement of the cerebral hemisphere. Hemimegalencephaly is an often isolated finding, but it has been described as an occasional feature of a large number of syndromes. We report a case of Hypomelanosis of Ito associated with hemimegalencephaly

Beraberinde gözlerin, kas iskelet sisteminin ve santral sinir sisteminin anormallikleri bulunabilir.
