Abstract

The main symptom of the organoid nevus syndrome (Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims-Syndrom) is the nevus sebaceous, which is mostly linear and can be of variable expression. Malformations of the skeletal system and the eyes are usually associated, while malformations of the cardio-vascular system are less common. Neurological findings such as mental retardation and seizures are of clinical relevance. We describe a case and discuss this rare syndrome.
