Abstract

Congenital giant melanocytic nevus presenting in the neonatal period is a clinical diagnosis, but the extra dermatology manifestations require early recognition. Meningeal melanocytosis is one such association which increases the risk of epilepsy. We report a neonate with large congenital melanocytic nevus over the torso with satellite lesions presenting with meningeal melanocytotic in the right parietal and cerebellar region. We discuss the clinical course, management and review the literature on this condition.
