Abstract

Epidermal Nevus Syndrome (ENS) is characterized by linear verrucous lesions of the skin and congenital anomalies including bone deformities, eye and central nervous system (CNS) malformations. We describe a case of ENS associated with an abnormality of the carotid artery which is considered a risk for stroke.
