Schimmelpenning syndrome is a neurocutaneous condition characterized by one or more sebaceous nevi, usually appearing on the face or scalp, associated with anomalies of the central nervous system, ocular system, skeletal system, cardiovascular system, and genitourinary system. Synonyms include: "Linear nevus sebaceous syndrome (LNSS)," "Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims syndrome," "Feuerstein-Mims syndrome," "sebaceous nevus syndrome," "Solomon syndrome," and "Jadassohn's nevus phakomatosis." "Nevus" is sometimes spelled "naevus" and "sebaceous" may also be spelled "sebaceus." "Epidermal nevus syndrome" is sometimes used as a synonym, but more often as a broader term referring to Schimmelpenning syndrome in addition to nevus comedonicus syndrome, CHILD syndrome, Becker’s nevus syndrome, and phakomatosis pigmentokeratotica . The classic Schimmelpenning syndrome diagnosis comprises a triad of sebaceous nevi, seizures, and mental retardation.〔 The condition was first reported by Gustav Schimmelpenning in 1957 and independently reported by Feuerstein and Mims in 1962. ==Incidence and prevalence== Nevus sebaceous was first identified in 1895 by Jadassohn. Sebaceous nevi occur in 1 to 3 of 1000 births, with equal incidence by sex.〔 〕 There is no test to determine whether an individual born with a sebaceous nevus will go on to develop further symptoms of Schimmelpenning syndrome. It has been reported that up to 10% of individuals with epidermal nevi may develop additional syndrome symptoms,〔 〕 but that number appears to be inconsistent with the rarity of the syndrome and may be overstated. Prevalence is unknown, but Epidermal nevus syndrome is listed with the National Organization for Rare Disorders, which defines ''rare'' as affecting "fewer than 200,000 people in the United States." 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Disease Information from NORD, National Organization of Rare Diseases, Inc. )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Schimmelpenning syndrome」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
