A 4 year old boy is reported with tyrosinase positive hypopigmentation, mental retardation, ataxia, and myopia. Radiological investigation showed occipital cerebral atrophy, coxa valga, and generalised osteoporosis. The skin histology and electron microscopy are reported and discussed. The clinical features are similar to those of the oculocerebral hypopigmentation syndrome described by Preus et al.

We describe a 20-year-old man with tyrosinase-negative oculocutaneous albinism, mental retardation, epilepsy, sensorineural deafness, ataxia, and Bartter syndrome. When combined, these neurocutaneous and renal findings form a previously unreported combination. The neurological and cutaneous manifestations of this case are distinctly different from those of the syndrome first reported by Cross et al. [1967]. The literature is reviewed and an attempt is made at classifying the oculocerebral hypopigmentation syndromes.
