A neonatal case of provisional neurocutaneous melanosis presenting with lissencephaly is reported. Several congenital nevi were observed on the trunk and extremities of the infant, including a giant congenital hairy nevus over the skull. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed a marked ventricular dilatation with pachygyria and an absent corpus callosum; however, an injection of gadolinium did not demonstrate any enhanced lesions. Histopathological investigations by a brain biopsy showed a disorganized and anomalous embryonic cerebral architecture, suggesting lissencephaly. The detailed mechanism of this combined pathology is difficult to explain; however, a developmental disturbance was suggested to be present in both the neural crest cells and the neuroepithelial cells, resulting in the development of neurocutaneous melanosis accompanied with lissencephaly.
