The symptoms include:
- Skin lesions
- Hypoplastic or aplastic skin defects
- Pedunculated, hamartomatous or nodular skin appendages
- Eye lesions
- Cystic microphthalmia
- Brain lesions
- Forebrain anomalies
- Agenesis of the corpus callosum
- Enlarged lateral ventricles

- Hydrocephalus
- Polymicrogyria
- Periventricular nodular heterotopia
- Mid-hindbrain malformation
- Giant dysplastic tectum
- Absent cerebellar vermis
