Abstract:
Epidermal nevus syndrome is a rare congenital malformation clinically characterized by the association of epidermal nevi with multiple abnormalities of the skin, skeletal system, central nervous system, eyes, cardiovascular system, urogenital system, as well as with malignant conditions. We describe a 4-month-old male with an extensive epidermal nevus involving the left side of the body (nevus unius lateris) and associated with lymphedema of the left lower extremity, diffuse alopecia and focal cicatrical alopecia of the scalp, atrial septal defect, multicystic dysplastic kidney and infantile spasm. We report this case with brief review of related literatures.
