Abstract The authors report on five patients (three female, two male) with multiple brain calcifications, infantile celiac disease, and epilepsy. The clinical, neuroradiological, neurophysiological, EEG and evolutional aspects are assessed. The authors propose that all patients with brain calcifications which cannot be traced to other known pathologies should undergo diagnostic tests for a malabsorption syndrome; analogously, patients affected with infantile celiac disease should undergo EEG, followed by a neuroradiological examination if the EEG pattern is found to be altered.
