J Am Acad Dermatol. 2000 Aug;43(2 Pt 1):310-2. doi: 10.1067/mjd.2000.106514.

Abstract

We report a case of atrophic skin lesions similar to atrophoderma vermiculatum with unilateral distribution in a patient with an ipsilateral cataract, transient ipsilateral alopecia, and a seizure disorder. Atrophoderma vermiculatum may be a cutaneous marker for various internal abnormalities.
