Descrição

The epidermal nevus syndrome is characterized by several developmental anomalies associated with an epidermal nevus. In addition to the skin, other organs commonly affected include the brain, eyes and musculoskeletal system. We report here on a 24-year-old woman with this syndrome who presented with hemifacial hypertrophy, hearing abnormalities, arrhythmia and an unusual infratentorial brain involvement.
