Article Synopsis
  • Cerebriform sebaceous naevus (CSN) is a rare skin condition that is often difficult to identify before birth because of its flat and shiny appearance, which doesn't usually come with other physical signs.
  • A pregnant woman was referred to a specialized unit at 24 weeks into her pregnancy to check on her baby's ear lesions, with advanced 3D ultrasound technology used to better visualize and assess these lesions.
  • Although CSN couldn’t be definitively diagnosed before birth, the 3D imaging helped plan for the baby's care after delivery, where a biopsy confirmed the condition.

  • Conditions like Grosshans' white lentiginosis and CELSR1-related lymphedema show this pattern, with affected males remaining asymptomatic but able to transmit the gene.
  • Other unique skin conditions, such as cerebriform sebaceous nevus and transient abdominal telangiectasia in newborns, have distinct genetic causes and presentations that are important for accurate diagnosis.
