Iu N Aver'ianov, and T V Filippova

A severe form of hypomelanosis of Ito in two-year-old white girl is reported. The disease was revealed as fetal microcephalia and epileptic seizures. Peripheral blood lymphocyte karyotype was normal. Brain MRI revealed absence of clear delineation between cortical grey matter and brain white matter. The literary review with emphasis of the neurological manifestations is presented.

D001921	Brain	The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.	Encephalon

D004829	Epilepsy, Generalized	Recurrent conditions characterized by epileptic seizures which arise diffusely and simultaneously from both hemispheres of the brain. Classification is generally based upon motor manifestations of the seizure (e.g., convulsive, nonconvulsive, akinetic, atonic, etc.) or etiology (e.g., idiopathic, cryptogenic, and symptomatic).
