BACKGROUND
Primary melanocytic neoplasms of the central nervous system are rare lesions arising from melanocytes of the leptomeninge that are found at highest density underneath the brain stem and along the upper cervical spinal cord. Thus most reported cases of meningeal melanocytomas are located
Nevus of Ota and nevus of Ito are hyperpigmentary dermal melanocytoses which develop as a consequence of disturbances or failures during migration of melanocytes from the neural crest towards the epidermis; they have a relatively unknown aetiopathogenesis and may be congenital or We report a rare intracranial meningeal melanocytoma associated with the nevus of Ota. The patient was 36-year-old man with a 2-week history of headache and difficulty in opening his right eye.

BACKGROUND
Meningeal melanocytomas are rare benign pigmented tumors of meningeal melanocytes. Nevus of Ota is a melanocytic pigmentation of the sclera and the skin adjacent to the eye. We report a rare case of parietal convexity meningeal melanocytoma associated with ipsilateral mucocutaneous
The Sturge-Weber syndrome was recently subdivided into type I (facial and leptomeningeal angioma, possible glaucoma), type II (facial angioma, without evident endocranial involvement), and type III (exclusive leptomeningeal angioma). Thus far in the literature only 24 cases of Sturge-Weber syndrome
We report two cases of leptomeningeal angiomatosis in atypical frontoparietotemporal locations without an associated facial port-wine stain. Evidence of a leptomeningeal angioma was found in each when they were evaluated for headaches and seizures. The diagnosis of a leptomeningeal angioma was
