Abstract
In the case of the ten year old girl with multiple pigmented nevi, organic changes of the brain were diagnosed clinically and electroencephalographically. Examination of the fundus of the eye showed the presence of a distinct pigmented halo around the disc of the optic nerve. The existence of dysraphic anomalies in the bones were revealed radiologically. The above results of the examination were assumed as a proof of the existence of pigmented neuro-cutaneous phacomatosis. Such examinations in the cases with multiple or giant pigmented nevi of the skin is significant.Keywords
