Pigmentary mosaicism (PM) is a descriptive term encompassing a range of hyper‐ and hypo‐pigmented phenotypes in various patterns. Information from the neurology literature initially noted neurological abnormalities (NA) in up to 90% of children with PM. The dermatology literature suggests lower associated rates (15%–30%) of NA. Variations in terminology, inclusion criteria, and small population sizes makes interpreting existing PM literature complicated. We aimed to assess rates of NA in children presenting to dermatology with PM.
