Abstract

INTRODUCTION Hypomelanosis of Ito is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by hypopigmented skin lesions, abnormalities of the central nervous system, skeletal system, eyes and teeth. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a 4-year-old boy with hypomelanosis of Ito and neck pulsatile mass due to a giant left common carotid dissecting aneurysm. DISCUSSION To our knowledge, this is the first report of association of hypomelanosis of Ito with carotid aneurysm. CONCLUSION For children with hypomelanosis of Ito and abnormal neurologic findings, vascular neuroimaging should be considered.

期刊介绍： Articles in ''Pediatric Neurosurgery'' strives to publish new information and observations in pediatric neurosurgery and the allied fields of neurology, neuroradiology and neuropathology as they relate to the etiology of neurologic diseases and the operative care of affected patients. In addition to experimental and clinical studies, the journal presents critical reviews which provide the reader with an update on selected topics as well as case histories and reports on advances in methodology and technique. This thought-provoking focus encourages dissemination of information from neurosurgeons and neuroscientists around the world that will be of interest to clinicians and researchers concerned with pediatric, congenital, and developmental diseases of the nervous system.
