Journal of Neurology

Abstract

A 32-year-old patient had marked reduction of visual acuity due to falciform folds of the retina and retinal detachment, and severe neurological abnormality: bilateral pyramidal involvement, fasciculation in all limbs and gait ataxia. Skull radiographs showed internal frontal hyperostosis; CT scan showed calcification of the falx cerebri, and multiple arachnoid cysts were shown by myelography. A naevoid lesion had previously been removed from the left forearm. There was a history of ophthalmological symptoms in the mother and the daughter of the propositus. His son has "café au lait" spot on the abdomen and dentigerous cysts. The diagnosis of an adult form of basal cell naevus syndrome with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance is discussed.
