Bathing Trunk Nevus Complications
On rare occasion, bathing trunk nevi are associated with a condition called leptomeningeal melanocytosis (growth of pigment-producing cells in the head), which can produce hydrocephalus, retardation, motor abnormalities, and seizures.
Bathing trunk nevi can become melanoma. They can also be associated with spina bifida, meningocele, other nevi, lipomas, and neurofibromatosis.
Depression and other emotional problems may occur due to social difficulties related to bathing trunk nevi.
