Descripción
Sumario:Epidermal nevus syndrome (ENS) is a congenital disorder characterized by widespread linear epidermal lesions consisting of epidermal nevus and extracutaneous involvements, especially of the central nervous system and skeletal system. Garcia–Hafner–Happle syndrome, also known as fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3)-ENS, is characterized by a systematized keratinocytic EN of soft and velvety type with neurological abnormalities such as seizures, intellectual impairment, and cortical atrophy. We present a case of a 9-year-old Japanese boy afflicted with Garcia–Hafner–Happle syndrome associated with dwarfism and atopic dermatitis. We show the results of physical examination, DNA analysis, and imaging studies and discuss the mutation underlying the child’s disorder.
