Mosaic Neurocutaneous Disorders and Their Causes

Neurocutaneous disorders are a heterogeneous group of conditions (mainly) affecting the skin [with pigmentary abnormalities and/or cutaneous tumours] and the central and peripheral nervous systems [with congenital abnormalities and/or tumours]. Other-than-skin and nervous system involvement is frequently encountered mostly affecting eye, bone, heart/vessels, lung, kidney and gut. The spectrum of neurological anomalies is broad including cognitive and motor defects, epilepsy and behavioural abnormalities.
