Abstract
The skin is involved in many different genetic syndromes and diseases with multiple organ involvement. Neurodevelopmental disorders appear in many of these entities and knowledge of these cutaneus alterations may provide clues to their diagnosis. Recognizing these skin disorders in the newborn allows early identification of neonates with a biological risk of epilepsy and motor and/or cognitive disorders and enables them to be followed up. This helps to plan the management of these patients and, in many entities, to predict their natural history and provide genetic counseling to the family. This review examines the cutaneus signs that may provide important clues in the neonate that help to identify entities that carry a risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in theneonate.
