title: Intracranial calcification and seizures: a case of central neurofibromatosis.
abstract: Periventricular calcification was found in an eight-year-old boy with seizures. The diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis was considered, but (like his mother) he has central neurofibromatosis. This condition must be considered in the differential diagnosis of children with intracranial calcification and seizures.
