Neurocutaneous Melanosis: A Rare Case
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Applied Radiology - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
We report a 15-year-old male patient who presented with sudden onset generalized tonic clonic convulsions and had multiple extensive large pigmented nevi covering entire back. Head CT revealed hyperdense foci in bilateral temporal lobes. MR imaging of the brain revealed multiple T1-Weighted Imaging (T1W) hyperintense foci in bilateral anterior temporal lobes with leptomeningeal enhancement. These findings along with skin lesions are suggestive of neurocutaneous melanosis.
