    This study reports a rare case of bilateral brain calcification in an eight-year-old girl presenting with seizures. Despite the calcifications, she showed no signs of phakomatosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Epilepsy and neurological disorders in children require thorough investigation.
    • Brain calcifications can be associated with various underlying conditions.
    • Phakomatosis is a group of neurocutaneous disorders.

    Observation:

    • An eight-year-old girl presented with convulsions.
    • Imaging revealed isolated bilateral, presumed cortical and subcortical calcifications.
    • Ophthalmological examination showed reduced visual acuity and prolonged visual evoked response latencies.

    Findings:

    • The patient exhibited significant neurological and visual system abnormalities.
    • The calcifications were bilateral and affected both cortical and subcortical brain regions.

  • Crucially, there were no clinical signs indicative of phakomatosis.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights a potential presentation of unexplained brain calcification.
    • Further research is needed to understand the etiology and long-term prognosis of such isolated calcifications.
    • The findings underscore the importance of comprehensive neuro-ophthalmological evaluation in pediatric neurological cases.
