Is there a condition other than tuberous sclerosis that has a side effect of hypomelanotic macules?
Since my baby was born, he has had shaking and jerking episodes. He had a seizure at 3 weeks that lasted a minute or two. The neurologist said that the light colored patches on his body are called hypomelonotic macules. Since he has also had seizures, he feels that he may have a mild case of tuberous sclerosis. He also says that 50% of people with seizures do show signs on the battery of tests that are given to determine a cause(MRI, EEG and CAT scan. Tuberous Sclerosis does not have cure and is in the clinical stages of study so the treatment is in the preliminary stage. I would just like to know if there are any other conditions that would have these signs.
