Patients with neurocutaneous melanosis usually have neurological symptoms early in life that progress rapidly due to the development of increased intracranial pressure or malignant melanoma. We report a 2-month-old female infant with multiple congenital melanocytic nevi and frequent seizure attacks. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain demonstrated several regions compatible with melanotic deposits. During follow-up for one year, she had normal development and was seizure-free under the treatment of phenobarbital and valproic acid. We suggest that infants with large or multiple congenital melanocytic nevi should receive regular clinical check-up and brain imaging to exclude the possibility of central nervous system lesions. |
