Cerebral infarction in incontinentia pigmenti: the first report of a case evaluated by single photon emission computed tomography.

A 2-month-old girl with incontinentia pigmenti presented with acute-onset right-handed focalized seizures and subsequent seizure generalization. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and single photon emission computed tomography results indicated that she had multiple cerebral infarctions. These findings suggest that incontinentia pigmenti should be included among the neurocutaneous syndromes associated with ischemic strokes in childhood. This is the first report of a case with incontinentia pigmenti associated with cerebral infarction evaluated by single photon emission computed tomography.
