Epilepsy with bilateral occipital Calcifications

A benign onset with progressive severity

G. Gobbi, MD, G. Sorrenti, MD, M. Santucci, MD, P. Giovanardi Rossi, MD, P. Ambrosetto, MD, R. Michelucci, MD and C. A. Tassinari, MD

From the Department of Child Neurology (Drs. Gobbi, Sorrenti, Santucci, and Giovanardi Rossi) and the Department of Neurology (Drs. Ambrosetto, Michelucci, and Tassinari), Neurological Institute, University of Bologna Medical School, Bologna, Italy.

We studied four patients with a focal epilepsy and bilateral occipital corticosubcortical calcifications without any sign of phakomatosis. The clinical course of the disease was similar in all the patients and evolved from a benign onset to a severe encephalopathy with progressive mental impairment. The question of whether these patients have an incomplete and atypical form of Sturge-Weber syndrome or a previously undescribed disorder is addressed.

Presented at the third scientific meeting of the European Society of Child Neurology, Brussels, November 1985.

Received May 14, 1987. Accepted for publication in final form October 2, 1987.
