Familial congenital anterior cervical hypertrichosis associated with peripheral sensory and motor neuropathy--a new syndrome?

J Am Acad Dermatol. 1991 Nov;25(5 Pt 1):767-70. doi: 10.1016/s0190-9622(08)80966-8.

Abstract

We present three patients with familial congenital hypertrichosis localized to the anterior cervical region, associated with peripheral sensory and motor neuropathy. This association may represent a new neurocutaneous syndrome. The association of anterior midline cutaneous lesions with an underlying malformation is discussed.
