Abstract:	Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in IKBKG, leading to functional loss of nuclear factor kappa B (NF‐?B). We report the case of a 6‐month‐old female child with IP who presented with unilateral nystagmus and was found to have a pilocytic astrocytoma with leptomeningeal spread. Enhanced understanding of the relationship between NF‐?B, along with its upstream regulators, and tumorigenesis may shed light on whether a subset of patients with IP may be at increased risk for neoplasia.

Keywords:	brain tumor biology incontinentia pigmenti low‐grade glioma nystagmus pilocytic astrocytoma
