Abstract
The phakomatoses, or neuroectodermal dysplasias, are a group of hereditary conditions characterised by the development of tumours in many organs, but notably in the skin and CNS. A number of conditions have been included under this heading, but only five occur with sufficient frequency to merit our attention here, and of these I do not intend to discuss ataxia telangiectasia, as we have only scanned one of these patients, and the examination was unsatisfactory.
