Basal cell nevus syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition with complete penetrance and variable expressivity. It is characterized by five major components, including multiple nevoid basal cell carcinomas, jaw cysts, congenital skeletal abnormalities, ectopic calcifications, and plantar or palmar pits. Other features include a host of benign tumors, ocular defects,...

Patient Information
Imaging guidelines exist as described for scoliosis. With the patient erect, radiographs are taken to show side-to-side alignment. Spinal radiographs are sometimes taken with the patient erect and supine are helpful to document flexibility of a rigid deformity. Specialized imaging studies (CT scan, MRI, bone scan) are used as required.
