Sažetak
Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is an X-linked dominant genodermatosis characterized by abnormalities of the tissue and organs derived from the ectoderm and neuroectoderm. Involvement of the skin, teeth, hair, and nails is seen in conjunction with neurologic and ophtalmologic anomalies. The prognosis depends on the presence and severity of associated extracutaneous manifestations. Morbidity and mortality primarily result from neurologic and ophtalmologic complications, including mental retardation, seizures, and vision loss. In this report, three patients at different stages of the disease are presented. Diagnosis and the course of the disease are discussed.
