The Rare Phakomatoses

  • Chapter
Pediatric Neuroradiology

Abstract

The rare phakomatoses may be grouped broadly into vascular phakomatoses and melanophakomatoses. Other entities, such as basal cell nevus syndrome and organoid nevus syndrome, will also be discussed here. Finally, Cowden-Lhermitte-Duclos syndrome will be discussed at the end of this chapter.
