AB This  condition  is  characterized  by  whorled  areas  of  hypopigmentation  following  lines  of  Blaschko  that  are  present  from  birth  or  evolve  during  early  childhood.  The  lesions  may  be  generalized,  with  individual  areas  of  hypopigmentation  assuming  whorled  or  streaked  patterns.  A  very  small  number  of  patients  with  this  pigmentary  disorder  have  central  nervous  system  disease,  usually  manifest  as  seizures  or  mental  retardation.  Other  reported  abnormalities  include  skeletal  and  ocular  defects.  This  condition  was  formerly  called  hypomelanosis  of  Ito.
