Abstract: Incontinentia pigmenti is a rare X-linked neurological-skin genetic disease. Some studies have shown that about 30~40% of
patients with IP have varying symptoms of eye/central nervous system which are the major causes of disability. Conversion disorder is
one of the most common mental diseases in children and may exhibit the single or multiple neurological symptoms. In this paper, we
will report a child with new and rare incontinentia pigmenti accompanied by conversion disorder and explore the relationship of this
rare combination. (IJCEM1309033).
Keywords: Incontinentia pigmenti, conversion disorder, central nervous system, X chromosome-linked dominant genetic disease
