NIDs (Neurocutaneous Disorders)

Neurocutaneous disorders (NIDs) are a group of conditions that affect both the nervous system and the skin, caused by genetic changes. They often result in skin marks, such as birthmarks or patches, along with neurological issues like seizures, developmental delays, or learning difficulties. Examples include neurofibromatosis, tuberous sclerosis, and Sturge-Weber syndrome. These disorders highlight how interconnected our skin and nervous system are, with symptoms varying widely among individuals. Usually, early diagnosis and management can improve quality of life and address associated health concerns effectively.
