Neurocutaneous melanosis (NCM) is a rare condition involving abnormal melanocyte growth. This case highlights a unique association with West syndrome, emphasizing the need for vigilant monitoring in affected infants.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Neurocutaneous melanosis (NCM) is a rare congenital disorder.
  • Characterized by congenital melanocytic nevi and leptomeningeal melanocytic proliferation.
  • Often associated with neurological complications.

Observation:

  • A case report of a girl with a giant hairy nevus and multiple nevi.
  • Presented with increased intracranial pressure and West syndrome within the first two years.
  • Developed facial palsy and myelopathy at age two.

Findings:

  • Neuroimaging revealed meningeal infiltration.
  • Cerebrospinal fluid cytology confirmed melanocytic cells, establishing the NCM diagnosis.
  • This case describes a novel association between NCM and West syndrome.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of clinical surveillance and neuroimaging for patients with congenital melanocytic nevi.
  • Underscores the potential for rare neurological comorbidities in NCM.
  • Emphasizes the lack of curative treatments and the need for palliative care.
