ABSTRACT
Scleroderma is a complex autoimmune collagen disorder that can affect many organs simultaneously, as it occurs in systemic sclerosis, or only the skin, as it occurs in localized scleroderma. Linear scleroderma, a subtype of localised scleroderma (morphea) is termed as “en-coup de sabre” when it occurs on the scalp or forehead. Neurological involvement is rare. We report three cases of young patients in second to third decade of life. These patients had linear depression over the forehead and two of them had history of well controlled seizures.
