Conclusion

Phakomatosis are uncommon diseases, but knowing their neuroradiologic imaging and clinical criteria usually lead to a definite diagnosis. It is important to radiologically recognize and follow-up these patients as phakomatosis are chronic diseases that develop with time, so it is our role to promptly diagnose them to avoid the onset of complications.
