Epidermal nevus syndrome associated with ocular symblepharon and gum hypertrophy - A rare variant
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Epidermal nevi are congenital hamartomas of embryonal ectodermal origin classified on the basis of their main component. The component may be sebaceous, apocrine, eccrine, follicular or keratinocytic. An estimated 1/3 of individuals with epidermal nevi have involvement of other organ systems; hence this condition is considered to be epidermal nevus syndrome. Solomon defined epidermal nevus syndrome as a sporadic neuro-cutaneous linkage of congenital ectodermal defects in the skin, brain, eyes and skeleton, now also referred to as Solomon syndrome. The syndromes are uncommon. Mortality and morbidity are associated with systemic anomalies.
