Familial Leukodermic Darier Disease with Faun Tail Nevus in a Female Child – An Uncommmon Coexistence

“…FTN is known to be associated with diastematomyelia, meningocele, myelomeningocele, myeloschisis, occult spina bifida, diplomyelia, tethered conus, intraspinal lipoma, lipomyelomeningocele, and dermoid cyst. [ 4 ] Patients with FTN must undergo a neurological and radiological assessment as this condition may be associated with underlying spinal dysraphism leading to debilitating symptoms, such as back pain or urinary incontinence, thus hampering the patient's quality of life. [ 5 ] In occult cases of dysraphism, except for cosmetic disfigurement, treatment is rarely required for tethered cord or spinal instability.…”
