The present illustration emphasizes the importance of a punctilious work up of the case. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pseudotumor

  The first reported case of facial paralysis due to an inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) of the facial nerve as a complication of epidermal nevus syndrome (ENS) is herein presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Advanced Bone Age

  Idiopathic central precocious puberty characterized by premature breast and public hair development and advanced bone age developed at the age of 20 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Bone Pain

  Clinical symptoms were marked bone abnormalities, muscle weakness, and bone pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Retinal Vascular Anomaly

  Her hearing was impaired because of serous otitis media and her visual acuity decreased because of hard yellow exudate in the macula as a result of decompensation and plasma leakage from the peripheral retinal vascular anomalies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Psychomotor Retardation

  Epidermal nevus syndrome is defined as a combination of nevoid skin alterations, epileptic seizures, and psychomotoric retardation. Involvement of other organs, especially the eyes, may also occur, but is not obligatory. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Neonate-Onset

  We found 57 previously reported cases with the hemimegalencephalic variant of epidermal nevus syndrome, in which the most frequent associated features are severe epilepsy, in about half of cases with neonatal onset, mental retardation/developmental delay [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Febrile Seizures

  A 13-year-old boy with the neurologic variant of ENS with hemimegalencephaly, facial asymmetry, febrile seizures and mental retardation is reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Myoclonus

  Massive myoclonus, followed by tonic seizures, had been triggered by unexpected auditory stimuli since 3 years of age. The startle-induced seizures were the only epileptic manifestation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This case highlights the necessity of appropriate workup in patients presenting with epidermal nevi at any age. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Workup Imaging Studies MRIs can be used to evaluate intracranial involvement. MRIs may show cerebral atrophy, dilated ventricles, hemimegalencephaly, pachygyria, or enlarged white matter. [dermaamin.com]

• Hypsarrhythmia

  Electroencephalograms showed a suppression-burst pattern in the neonatal period, subsequently changing to hypsarrhythmia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Focal Spikes

  Interictal EEG occasionally depicted spontaneous focal spikes and waves in the left frontotemporal area, and ictal EEG depicted vertex spikes and then diffuse slow spike-and-wave complex bursts. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hyponatremia

  The clinical picture of hypotonic hyponatremia, high urine osmolality, elevated urine sodium, and euvolemia was compatible with SIADH. The seizures did not correlate with the hyponatremia, and no other cause for the seizures could be identified. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment of the epidermal nevus may be nonoperative, differing from the philosophy of aggressive treatment of the similarly appearing premalignant congenital hairy nevus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis depends on the severity of the clinical manifestations and the extent of the multisystem involvement. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

There is one instance in which Clark’s levels continue to be used to predict prognosis: in patients with thin (less than 1.0 mm) melanoma, a Clark’s level IV or V lesion portends a worse prognosis. [slideplayer.com]

Prognosis The prognosis is very good. [patient.info]

Recognition of Heide's syndrome can help physicians plan a multidisciplinary approach to investigation, management, and prognosis. [medlink.com]

What is the Prognosis of Epidermal Nevus? (Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Epidermal Nevus is good, especially with a surgical approach. [dovemed.com]

They both exhibit overlapping and distinctive features but same etiology: post-zygotic mosaic mutations in RAS genes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology LNSS is a sporadic disease. It is hypothesized that the epidermal nevus syndromes are the result of genetic mosaicism involving a dominant gene. [orpha.net]

(Etiology) The majority of Epidermal Nevi (plural of Nevus) are sporadic, i.e. they occur after birth, without a genetic basis. [dovemed.com]

Summary Epidemiology The incidence of sebaceous nevi at birth is estimated at 1 in 1000 but the prevalence of these lesions in association with other anomalies, as in the case of LNSS, varies between case reports to around 1:10,000. [orpha.net]

Doctors recommend proper protection from the sun (like sun block) to prevent skin cancers and to reduce development of acquired nevi. Living & Managing Atypical lesions or lesions associated with malignancies require close follow-up from a doctor. [texaschildrens.org]
