Abstract
A case of dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria is reported in a 16-year-girl. She had asymptomatic spotty, depigmented and hyperpigmented macules distributed bilaterally all over the body, sparing the palms and soles. She also had associated grandmal epilepsy since early childhood. The common origin of epidermis and brain from ectoderm suggests that the association of epilepsy and dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria in this patient is more than fortuitous.
