- Abstract
Hypomelanosis of Ito (HI) is a neurocutaneous syndrome with multisystemic involvement. Its most frequent neurological abnormalities are mental retardation and seizures. EEG, CT and MRI findings are not characteristic enough to be diagnostic. In this report, we describe a patient with typical cutaneous lesions of HI and an intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM), which has not been previously reported.
