Encephalocraniocutaneous Lipomatosis

Marvin A. Fishman, MD

Departments of Pediatrics and Neurology, Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Children's Hospital, Houston, TX

Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis is a distinct clinical syndrome characterized by unilateral cerebral malformations and ipsilateral scalp, face, and eye lesions. The cutaneous lesions are confined to the head. The central nervous system lesions consist in part of cerebral hemiatrophy, porencephaly, and defective opercularization of the insula. The intracranial lesions and clinical symptomatology are progressive, and appear, in part, to have a vascular pathogenesis. This suggests that a primary defect in the formation of tissues derived from embryonic mesenchyme may be responsible for the syndrome and that tissues derived from ectoderm may be secondarily affected. (J Child Neurol 1987;2:186-193).
