Aim: To study the skin disease in patients with central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Methods: Total 78 patients of CNS disorders were studied, among which 49 (62.82%) patients had skin lesions. Maximum number of patients with skin lesions had paraplegia, followed by epilepsy. Dermatophytosis was the commonest dermatosis found in 24.48% of patients followed by seborrhoeic dermatitis in 14.28% patients. Conclusion: Dermatosis in CNS disorders may be due to its treatment, immobility, congenital defects, or their common ectodermal origin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
