Incontinentia pigmenti

Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare X-linked dominant multi-systemic ectodermal dysplasia usually lethal in males and presenting neonatally in females with a bullous rash along Blashko's lines (BL) followed by verrucous plaques evolving over time to hyperpigmented swirling patterns. It is further characterized by teeth abnormalities, alopecia, nail dystrophy and affects occasionally the retina and the central nervous system (CNS).

These findings suggest that incontinentia pigmenti should be included among the neurocutaneous syndromes associated with ischemic strokes in childhood.

Incontinentia pigmenti has not been associated with stroke syndromes in the past; however, this report illustrates that the patient and her mother, who also has incontinentia pigmenti, may have had similar ischemic stroke events.
