Background: Griscelli syndrome type-2 (GS2) is characterized by cutaneous hypopigmentation, immunodeficiency, and hemo-phagocytic lympho-histiocytosis. Primary neurological presentation is rare. Case Report: We hereby report 13 year old girl who presented with cutaneous hypopigmentation, clinical and radiological evidence of neurologic involvement unaccompanied by other features of hemo-phagocytosis. Electron microscopy of hair shaft and skin biopsy established the diagnosis of Griscelli syndrome. Conclusion: Neurologic manifestations in Griscelli syndrome may occur in isolation without the more common hemophagoctic-lymphohistiocytosis.
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.
