Zusammenfassung: | A case of multiple giant congenital melanocytic naevi in whom central
nervous system melanosis was detected at 6 weeks of age is described.
The infant was asymptomatic, but presence of risk factors such as
multiple naevi, giant naevi and naevi on scalp and posterior axial
location prompted a magnetic resonance imaging study of the brain. To
our knowledge, neurocutaneous melanosis at such a young age has not
been reported in Indian literature. |
