Abstract

Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL) is a sporadically occurring disorder that belongs to the group of neurocutaneous syndromes. Important characteristics of the case we present are: intracranial lipomas, a skull hamartoma, bilateral lipodermoids and jaw tumors (ossifying fibromas and compound odontomas). We propose four minimal criteria for the diagnosis of ECCL and review the ocular abnormalities reported to date.
