Abstract
A case is reported of a recently described neurocutaneous syndrome, manifested by a noncommunicating right lateral ventricular cyst, a left-sided lipoma of the scalp with alopecia, right-sided multiple truncal lipomas, right-sided ocular manifestations, left leg hypertrophy, and seizures. The findings in cases of encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis are described to demonstrate the spectrum of this syndrome.
