39. Conclusion Neurocutaneous syndromes are a heterogeneous group of disorders that primarily affect the central nervous system with cutaneous manifestations. Cross-sectional imaging, especially MRI, can be tailored to help the diagnosis and guide further evaluation and treatment. Radiologists should be familiar with the characteristic imaging findings of specific neurocutaneous syndromes and develop a search pattern for potential associated lesions once a diagnosis is favored.
