Abstract
Lipoid proteinosis is a rare genetic disorder affecting the skin, mucous membranes, and central nervous system. Here, we present the case of a 35-year-old female who presented with two episodes of seizures followed by loss of consciousness and injury to the nose. A CT scan and MRI of the brain revealed small symmetrical calcifications in the bilateral medial temporal lobes, a finding highly suggestive of lipoid proteinosis. This case highlights the neurological manifestations of lipoid proteinosis, an extremely rare autosomal recessive disorder, and emphasizes the importance of neuroimaging in its diagnosis.
