Macrocephaly is defined as a head circumference that exceeds the mean by more than two standard deviations or is above the 98th percentile. Except familial ones, macrocephaly frequently has been associated with various degrees of neurological dysfunction. Hypomelanosis of Ito is a neurocutaneous disorder characterized by unilateral or bilateral macular hypopigmented whorls, streaks and patches. Abnormalities of the central nervous system and musculoskletal system may also be present in more than half of the cases. We report a newborn case presenting with macrocephaly after than diagnosed as hypomelanosis of Ito
