Abstract: The term hypomelanosis of Ito [HI] is applied to individuals with skin hypopigmentation along the lines of Blaschko. Even though originally described as a purely cutaneous disease, subsequent reports have included a 33% to 94% association with multiple extracutaneous manifestations mostly of the central nervous and musculoskeletal systems leading to frequent characterization as a neurocutaneous disorder. A boy with constellation of multiple congenital anomalies including facial dysmorphism, skin hypopigmentation, musculoskeletal, and nervous system abnormalities in the form of hypotonia and mild mental retardation suggestive of [HI] presented with partial motor seizures and found to have hemimegalencephaly [HME] on MRI of the brain.
