A 6 month old female child was admitted with complaints of delayed developmental milestones and multiple hyperpigmented patches on the trunk, limbs, axilla and groin. At birth the baby had diffuse vesciculo-bullous rash. Currently the child has global developmental delay with seizures with investigations suggesting the same. Clinically the child was diagnosed as a case of Incontinentia pigmenti. Early identification of this condition with a multi disiplinary approach is associated with better outcomes.
