Abstract
- Giant pigmented nevus is a variety of congenital melanocytic nevi, and may be associated with various abnormalities, such as skeletal malformation, lipoma, vascular nevi, melanosis in the meninges, meningocele, and intracranial arteriovenous malformation. We report a case with congenital giant pigmented nevus and porencephaly. This association should be considered as the spectrum of neurocutaneous syndromes related to congenital giant pigmented nevus.
