Purpose: To describe two patients with encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL) and to review the literature on this disorder.
Methods: Brain and orbit CT scans were performed on two patients with ECCL. Both patients were examined by the same ophthalmologist and neurologist during at least a 2-year follow-up period.
Results: Unilateral skull hamartomas, intracranial abnormalities, epibulbar choristomas, and ocular adnexal changes including a specific form of cicatricial upper eyelid retraction were present in both patients.
Conclusions: ECCL is a special form of oculocerebrocutaneous disease that has significant adnexal findings that are essential for the diagnosis of this rare disorder.
