Leukoencephalopathy with extensive brain calcifications and parenchymal cysts in a child

Abstract

Leukoencephalopathy with cerebral calcifications and cysts (LCC) is a recently described and extremely rare entity of unknown origin characterized radiologically by white matter abnormalities, calcifications and cysts. The onset of this disorder occurs from early infancy to adolescence and there is no specific clinical feature suggestive of this disorder. We report a new case of this rare entity and emphasize CT and MRI findings that permit to assess diagnosis.
