Abstract
A case with progressive cerebral calcifications, white matter involvem ent, and drug-resistant epilepsy in a 9-year-old boy is described. The final diagnosis was celiac disease (CD). The relationship of CD with epileptogenic lesions is considered, and the possible significance of this association is discussed.
