MRI in Evaluating Neurocutaneous Syndromes: A Retrospective Analysis

Abstract Neurocutaneous syndromes are a group of genetic disorders that arise primarily from the neuroectoderm. Besides the central nervous system (CNS), these syndromes also impact the peripheral nerves, skin, connective tissue, and various other organ systems. They require a multidisciplinary approach as early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to managing complications and improving quality of life. This study illustrates how MR imaging is indispensable in the management of neurocutaneous syndromes, enabling early diagnosis, accurate characterization, and ongoing monitoring of disease manifestations. It plays a pivotal role in guiding clinical decisions and improving patient outcomes.
