ABSTRACT

Gómez-López-Hernández syndrome or cerebellar-trigeminal-dermic dysplasia is a rare neurocutaneus syndrome, of unknown etiology. It consists of: rombencefhalosynapsis, trigeminal anesthesia and parietal or parieto-occipital alopecia. We inform the case of a l9 month old, Mexican female with typical phenotype and neuroimage studies, but without ataxia. We compare the findings of our patient with those reported in literature.
