Here, we present an adult onset NCM. A 17-year-old boy presented with headache and double vision for 1 month. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed hydrocephalus and abnormal meningeal hyper intensities in supra and infratentorial regions predominantly in the posterior fossa. Para medullary region showed an 11 \u00d7 10 mm nodular contrast enhancing nodule. Resection of an intramedullary central nervous system lesion revealed melanoma while skin biopsy was benign melanocytic nevus. As per Kadonaga and Frieden criteria, a diagnosis of NCM was made. Planned for craniospinal irradiation by three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy with a dose of 36 Gy, in 18 fractions (2 Gy\/fraction and 5 days in a week) along with steroids however patient progressed and developed quadriplegia with intradural metastasis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/0973-1482.138201","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,9]],"date-time":"2015-10-09T11:54:49Z","timestamp":1444391689000},"page":"649","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Neurocutaneous melanocytosis presenting in a teenager"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"I.","family":"Monica","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.
