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.

Keywords : Hypomelanosis of Ito [syndrome]; Neurocutaneous [hypochromic]; Neurocutaneous [maculae]; Neurocutaneous [genetic skin disease].
