Response to Neale et  al., “Guidance on screening magnetic resonance imaging decisions for congenital melanocytic nevi”

To the Editor: We read the original article by Neale et  al,1 reviewing the presence of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and spine abnormalities in children with congenital melanocytic nevi (CMNs) and their subsequent communication2 on “Guidance on screening magnetic resonance imaging decisions for congenital melanocytic nevi” with inte rest. There has been significant discordance in the recommendations around the world regarding MRI screening in such scenarios. The authors recommended performing early craniospinal MRI screening in children who present with multiple CMNs among which at least 1 CMN has a projected size in the medium or large category.
