Abstract
Purpose:
To report a rare case of encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL) presented with characteristic multiple organ involvement.
Methods:
A 7-day-old white Iranian girl was referred with ocular, skin and brain abnormalities.
Results:
The findings of nevus psiloliparus, eyelid choristoma and intracranial lipoma were consistent with ECCL.
Conclusion:
Since the skin and ocular manifestations can be easily observed at birth examination, pediatricians and ophthalmologists should be aware of this condition.
