Faun tail nevus is a rarely reported congenital cutaneous marker of an underlying spine or spinal cord anomaly characterized by the presence of a hypertrichotic patch affecting the lumbosacral region since birth. In addition to spinal dysraphism, it also affects the psychosocial life of the suffering patient. Herein, we report two cases of faun tail nevus, one with associated diastematomyelia. In both cases, cosmetic improvement was achieved with triple-wavelength diode laser. This article aims to present this sparsely reported clinical entity and describe our experience in its management with diode laser.
