Abstract:A case of basal cell nevus syndrome or Gorlin’s syndrome is reported in a new-born. The skin condition is associated with congenital hydrocephaly and skeletal malformations. To our knowledge, this is the first case of basal cell nevus syndrome with skin tumors present at birth and localized on the fingers
A mother and daughter with Gorlin syndrome with similar neuroradiological findings are reported. These include calcification of the falx cerebri and tentorium cerebelli and dysgenesis of the corpus callosum and vermis. Vermian dysgenesis was detected in both mother and daughter suggesting a previously unrecognized finding associated with Gorlin syndrome.

Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), also known as Gorlin syndrome, is a hereditary condition characterized by a wide range of developmental abnormalities and a predisposition to neoplasms.
