Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis

A rare, genetic skin disease characterized by the ocular, cutaneous, and central nervous system anomalies. Typical clinical features include a well-demarcated hairless fatty nevus on the scalp, benign ocular tumors, and central nervous system lipomas, leading sometimes to seizures, spasticity, and intellectual disability. Nevus psiloliparus, focal dermal hypo- or aplasia, eyelid skin tags, colobomas, abnormal intracranial vessels, hemispheric atrophy, porencephalic cyst, and hydrocephalus have also been associated.

Although in the literature three cases of encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL) concomitant with spinal cord involvement have been reported, to our knowledge iris coloboma and chorioretinitis in ECCL have not been reported previously.
