Presentation
The present illustration emphasizes the importance of a punctilious work up of the case. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, we report here on a young adult woman who presented with ENS, but with an unusual cerebellar involvement. [em-consulte.com]
Eyes
- Lacrimation
Mental retardation Seizures Spinal cord stenosis Ocular Findings 9-30% of patients Astigmatisim Bilateral cataracts Blocked tear duct Choristomas Colobomas of lid, iris, choroid retina Corneal opacity and pannus formation Cortical blindness Ectopic lacrimal [thedoctorsdoctor.com]
Musculoskeletal
- 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]
Onset
- Neonatal 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]
Neurologic
- 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]
Workup
The authors suggest that serum FGF-23 measurement be included in the workup of this kind of rickets because there is growing evidence that in these situations the epidermal nevi produce a phosphaturic factor. [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]
EEG
- Hypsarrhythmia
Electroencephalograms showed a suppression-burst pattern in the neonatal period, subsequently changing to hypsarrhythmia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Serum
- 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
After 3 months of treatment, clinical improvement of hypophosphatemic rickets was clearly demonstrated. Her blood chemistries were normalised at 5 months following the treatment. In conclusion, hypophosphatemic rickets is a rare presentation of ENS. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The treatment of epidermal nevi is challenging. Multiple medical and surgical treatments have been attempted, but no ideal or universally acceptable treatment has emerged. [dermatopedia.com]
Prognosis
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]
What is the Prognosis of Epidermal Nevus? (Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Epidermal Nevus is good, especially with a surgical approach. [dovemed.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]
Etiology
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]
Epidemiology
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]
This report defines the prevalence of genital colonization in a large population of women, characterizes the women with S. aureus, and describes epidemiologic features of genital carriage. Página 50 - Lautenschlager S, Eichmann A. [books.google.es]
Epidemiology Nevus sebaceous occurs in approximately 0.3% of all newborn infants [1]. Both sexes are equally affected [5]. There is no racial and⁄ or ethnic predominance [2]. [austinpublishinggroup.com]

Prevention
Surgical removal has proven to be the most successful treatment method; though, it is associated with certain risks How can Epidermal Nevus be Prevented? Currently, there are no known means of preventing Epidermal Nevi occurrence. [dovemed.com]

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]
