Phakomatoses (or "neurocutaneous syndromes") are disorders of central nervous system that additionally result in lesions on the skin and the retina.

These tissues have a common ectodermal origin. However, in some conditions, such as von Hippel-Lindau disease, ectodermal presentation is minimal. [Medcyclopaedia|vi_1/p/PHAKOMATOSIS]

The term, which means "spot", was introduced by Jan van der Hoeve in the 1920s, before the distinct genetic basis of each of these diseases was understood. [cite web
