Incontinentia pigmenti, also known as Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome, is a rare congenital X-linked genodermatosis with variable involvement of tissues derived from neuroectoderm and mesoderm skin, hair, nails, eyes and central nervous system. Differential diagnoses are manifested in the neonatal period, such as bullous impetigo, neonatal herpes, cytomegalovirus, mastocytosis and hereditary epidermolysis bullosa. Early diagnosis allows detection of associated diseases which  determine  the patients prognosis
