24 patients of BCNS from Mar. 1981 to Sept. 1999 were retrospectively investigated.Results:
Of all the cases, the mean age for the first examination was 17 years old. The respective incidence of the main symptoms were multiple nevi in 9 cases (37.5%), palmar and/or plantar pits in 7 (29.2%), spine and/or ribs deformity in 17 (70.8%), intracranial calcification in 19 ( 79.2% ), specific facial profile in 16(66.7%). The cysts of jaws were the main causes for early examination, which were characterized by their multiple and preadolescent occurrences. The cysts were surgically removed and the postoperative recurrence rate of the cysts was 22.0%.Conclusion:
