Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare genodermatoses with multisystem involvement. Monochorionic diamniotic twins are presented with characteristic skin manifestation and ocular and neurological involvement. Identification of characteristic cutaneous manifestation can lead to rapid diagnosis of IP even in the absence of family history, resulting in prompt management of systemic manifestations.
