Abstract
Ito's syndrome is a distinct entity characterized by bilateral systematized linear depigmentations denominated by Ito as "incontinentia pigmentiachromians". The syndrome includes a variety of anomalies predominantly affecting the central nervous system, the eyes, and the muscular-skeletal-system. The patient described in this paper was a 26 year old man suffering from a sever scoliosis. This anomaly had not been mentioned in previous case reports.
