Case Report - Multiple giant congenital melanocytic nevi with central nervous system melanosis: A case report
Ahuja SR, Karande S, Kulkarni MV
Abstract
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.
