Incontinentia Pigmenti is an uncommon X-linked genodermatosis, caused by mutations in the NEMO gene. It is a systemic disease that involves tissue of ectodermic and mesodermic origin, including cutaneous tissue, teeth, eyes and the central nervous system, amongst other organs. The Authors report a rare case of Incontinentia Pigmenti in a female newborn.

Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic infection of the central nervous system worldwide. However , cysticercosis affecting the spine is considered extremely rare. We report one case of spinal cysticercosis with review of literature.

Reversible Splenial Lesion Syndrome

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may affect the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Major central nervous system manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection include seizures, meningoencephalitis, ischemic stroke, anosmia, and hypogeusia. The reversible splenial lesion syndrome was first described in 2004. Although reversible splenial lesion syndrome was initially recognized as a benign phenomenon, a second type of reversible splenial lesion syndrome was identified in later years, which has a poorer prognosis and potentially serious sequela. Reversible splenial lesion syndrome can be caused by numerous etiologies including viruses. In this report, we present a rare case of COVID-19 with reversible splenial lesion, who presented with ataxia and dizziness.

The Central Nervous System

Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare X linked dominant genetic multisystem neurocutaneous disorder that may affect many organs including the skin, bone, eyes and the central nervous system. Central nervous system manifestations are seen in 30%-40% of cases with seizures and mental retardation. Seizures as the presenting sign of IP in neonates are rarely reported. We report a case of a female newborn with IP who had pleomorphic skin rashes and erythematous vesicles over upper and lower extremities since 5th day of life which were followed by seizures on day 22nd of life. With this case report, we would like to emphasize the need for inclusion of IP in the differential diagnosis of neonatal seizures and to confirm diagnosis of all such unusual skin lesions histologically.

Incontinentia pigmenti is a rare X-linked dominant condition characterized by abnormalities in skin, eyes, teeth, bones and the central nervous system. A seven year old female child presented to the Dermatology Out Patient Department (OPD) of Bir Hospital with vesicles, bullae, verrucous papules and plaques and hypopigmented streaks on the trunk and extremities of six years duration. Based on the clinical findings she was diagnosed as a case of Incontinentia pigmenti. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jnps.v33i1.7126 J Nepal Paediatr Soc. 2013;33(1):57-60

Suprasellar Extension

Paragangliomas are usually benign tumors which can be found in many sites of the body, from the base of the skull down to the pelvic floor. In the central nervous system the sellar region is very rarely involved; only three well studied cases have been reported to date. We present the cytological, histological, histochemical, immunocytochemical and ultrastructural features of an intrasellar and suprasellar paraganglioma in an 84-year-old man.
