Epidermal nevus syndrome, also known as Feuerstein and Mims syndrome,[1][2] and Solomon's syndrome[1]: 775 [3] is a rare disease that was first described in 1968 and consists of extensive epidermal nevi with abnormalities of the central nervous system (CNS), skeleton, skin, cardiovascular system, genitourinary system and eyes.[2]: 634 However, since the syndrome's first description, a broader concept for the "epidermal nevus" syndrome has been proposed, with at least six types being described:[1]: 776 [4]
