A case of hypomelanosis of Ito in a 22-month-old North African girl is reported. The family history is negative for skin disease. Whorls of depigmentation are present on the trunk and abdomen. Associated defects include: growth retardation, microcephaly, strabismus, bilateral epicanthus, myopia, hypertelorism and abnormalities of external ear. Associated non-cutaneous abnormalities documented in patients with hypomelanosis of Ito are reviewed.

Incontinentia pigmenti achromians is a multisystem hereditary disorder characterized specifically by a whorled or streaked cutaneous hypopigmentation and frequently characterized by numerous neurologic, musculoskeletal, and ocular abnormalities. We present a patient with incontinentia pigmenti achromians in whom the ocular abnormalities included the commonly reported exotropia, myopia, small optic nerve, and hypopigmentation of the fundus, as well as rarely reported corneal asymmetry, pannus, and atropic irides with irregular pupillary margins. The patient also had a cataract in the right eye and a retinal detachment in the left eye.

Hypomelanosis of Ito is a multisystem disorder that is thought to be due to chromosomal mosaicism. The authors report a case of cortical visual impairment in an infant diagnosed as having hypomelanosis of Ito. Cortical dysplasia was evident on magnetic resonance imaging and its presence in key areas of the visual pathway may explain the patient's cortical visual impairment.
