Linear Nevus Sebaceous Syndrome: Clinical Presentation and Management Considerations.

Area of Science:

• Dermatology
• Neurology
• Ophthalmology

Background:

• Linear nevus sebaceous syndrome (LNSS) is a rare neurocutaneous disorder.
• It is characterized by mosaic RASopathies and phacomatoses.
• Typical symptoms include intellectual disability, seizures, and midline facial nevus sebaceous.

Observation:

• This report presents a case of a 13-year-old male diagnosed with LNSS.
• The patient exhibited a vascular conjunctival lesion.
• A coloboma of the optic disc was also noted.

Findings:

• The case highlights unusual ocular manifestations in LNSS.
• Nevus sebaceous, a papillomatous epidermal growth, is a hallmark of LNSS.
• This presentation expands the known spectrum of LNSS symptoms.

Implications:

• Early recognition of diverse LNSS symptoms is crucial for timely intervention.
• Ophthalmological evaluation may be important in diagnosing LNSS.
• Further research into LNSS pathogenesis and management is warranted.
