Abstract
LICOURT OTERO, Deysi et al. Hypomelanosis of Ito. A case report. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.2, pp.281-288. ISSN 1561-3194.
Hypomelanosis of Ito is a Neurocutaneous Syndrome with a variable degree of dermal depigmentation and neurological disorders. A physical-genetic examination was performed to a two-year old boy presenting hypochromic stains, dysmorphias in face and skull associated with this condition which recurrence risk is low. After revising the medical literature the diagnosis was confirmed to offer the necessary genetic advice to families with patients suffering from this syndrome.
