Extract

Disorders of the skin, either congenital or acquired, associated with nervous disorders and disturbance of normal mental functioning arc numerous. The classification is very wide-ranging and includes: phakomatoses, hamartoses, adenomatoses and neurocutaneous syndromes. In 1972, Liebaldt and Leiber collected 40 titles of the syndromes, and since then many more reports of the new syndromes and their variants have appeared in the world literature.
