What is the definition of Linear Nevus Sebaceous Syndrome?

Linear nevus sebaceous syndrome (LNSS) is a condition characterized by the association of a large, linear sebaceous nevus (type of birthmark) with a broad range of abnormalities that may affect every organ system, including the central nervous system (CNS). The nevus usually is located on the face, scalp, or neck. The most common CNS abnormalities are intellectual disability, seizures, and hemimegalencephaly (abnormal enlargement of one side of the brain). Various other CNS abnormalities have been reported. Other signs and symptoms may include various eye abnormalities; skeletal (bone) deformities; heart defects; urogenital abnormalities; and an increased risk of cancer with age. LNSS is not inherited (it is sporadic). It can be caused by a somatic genetic change in any of several genes. Genetic changes that cause LNSS occur after fertilization and are only present in some body cells (mosaicism).
