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.
