EXPERT'S OPINION:

• Question: What could be the cause of a calcification on the temporal lobe in an 11 yr old. She has a history of seizures and is autistic. She had an MRI today because she had a seizure and they saw an mm calcification. Could I please have your input? Thank You, a concerned aunt



• Answer: A single calcification in the brain of an 11 year old with seizure and otherwise asymptomatic could be suggestive of infection such as neurocysticercosis, tuberculosis or toxoplasmosis. Brain tumor is less likely to lead to calcifications.
