AB Neurocutaneous  disorders  are  a  heterogeneous  group  of  genetic  conditions  affecting  both  the  central  and  peripheral  nerves  that  can  result  in  brain,  spine,  skin,  and  skeletal  manifestations.  This  chapter  discusses  select  neurocutaneous  disorders,  or  phakomatoses,  in  which  seizures  are  not  a  typical  component.  Neurocutaneous  disorders  with  prominent  neurologic  features,  particularly  seizures,  are  discussed  separately  (see  Chapter  567).  A  comprehensive  table  of  neurocutaneous  disorders  (Table  176-1)  and  selected  more  commonly  observed  conditions  are  described  below.
