		Neurocutaneous syndrome is a broad term for a group of rare neurological (brain, spine, and peripheral nerve) disorders.

	Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome - Genetics Home Reference
		Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome is an inherited disorder characterized by the formation of tumors and fluid-filled sacs (cysts) in many different parts of the body.
		Mutations in the VHL gene cause von Hippel-Lindau syndrome.
		Mutations in the VHL gene are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means that one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to increase the risk of developing tumors and cysts.

	Guillain-Barr Syndrome
		Guillain-Barré syndrome is a neurological disorder in which the body's immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system.
		Guillain-Barré is called a syndrome rather than a disease because it is not clear that a specific disease-causing agent is involved.
		A syndrome is a medical condition characterized by a collection of symptoms (what the patient feels) and signs (what a physician can observe or measure).

	Article Summary: On the Diagnosis and Management of Neurocutaneous Syndrome (NCS),A Toxicity Disorder from Dental ...
		Neurocutaneous syndrome (NCS), a newly discovered toxicity disorder, is characterized by neurological sensations, pain, depleted energy and memory loss as well as itchy cutaneous lesions which may invite various opportunistic infections.
		Components in the calcium hydroxide dental sealants Dycal, Life and Sealapex have been identified as sources of the observed symptoms.
		The original description of the neurocutaneous syndrome (NCS) was “introductory in nature.” Examination of many NCS patients and a careful study of their symptoms, exposures, clinical conditions and histories made it possible to identify the underlying cause of the syndrome and proceed with its management.

		Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) consists of a triad of cutaneous capillary hemangioma, bone and soft tissue hypertrophy, and venous varicosities (1).
		The etiology of KTS is unknown but some authors have suggested that it results from a mesodermal abnormality that occurs during fetal development leading to the maintenance of microscopic arteriovenous communications in the limb bud (2).
		In Parks-Weber Syndrome there are clinically apparent and important arteriovenous fistulae where as in KTS any arteriovenous fistulae that exist are microscopic in size and unassociated with the typical clinical findings of arteriovenous fistulae.

		Sturge-Weber syndrome (also called "encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis") is a congenital disorder characterized by a vascular birthmark and neurological abnormalities.
		A group of neurocutaneous disorders manifested by facial and leptomeningeal angiomas, ipsilateral gyriform calcifications of the cerebral cortex, seizures, development delay, hemiplegia, emotional and behavioral problems, and glaucoma and other ocular disorders.
		Correlation between the distribution of the nevus and the course of the trigeminal nerve is responsible for naming the syndrome "trigemino-encephalo-angiomatosis," but later findings found the relationship to be fortuitous.

		Sturge-Weber syndrome is a disease that affects the skin and nervous system (neurocutaneous) and is associated with Port Wine Stain, red vascular markings on the face and other parts of the body (shown here on the legs).
		This is an unusual case, due to the large size of the lesion (extensive involvement).
		Occasionally seizures or learning disorders are also associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome.

		Similar skin findings are found in Oliers's syndrome, Albright's disease, and Jaffe Campanacci syndrome - just to name a few.

	eMedicine - Haberland Syndrome : Article Excerpt by: Sergiusz Jozwiak, MD, PhD
		Background: Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL) is a rare, congenital, neurocutaneous disorder with unilateral lipomatous cutaneous neoplasms devoid of hair and ipsilateral ophthalmologic and neurologic malformations.
		Haberland and Perou speculated as to whether the ectodermal malformations are caused by the same basic defect responsible for the mesenchymal malformations or whether they were secondary to the mesodermal dysgenesis.
		Happle and Steijlen suggested that the origin of this nonhereditary genodermatosis could be a lethal autosomal mutation that survives in a mosaic state.

	Recognizing an Index Case of Tuberous Sclerosis American Family Physician - Find Articles
		Dermatologic manifestations may be the only clues the family physician has to the diagnosis of the disorder, which is also marked by childhood seizures and mental retardation.
		The term "tuberous sclerosis" was first used in 1880 to describe a syndrome consisting of seizures, mental retardation and facial rash in a young girl.
		However, this complex disorder was initially identified in 1862, and an association between seizures, mental retardation and facial angiofibromas (adenoma sebaceum), referred to as "Vogt's triad," was established in 1908.1 With recent advances in genetic research and imaging modalities, more mysteries about this fascinating disorder have been solved.
