We experienced of benign myoclonic epilepsy with neurofibromatosis type Ⅰ in a 4 month-old male patient, who had recurrent myoclonic attacks, relative delay of psychomotor development. Hypsarrhythmic EEG pattern. normal brain MRI, with multiple Cafe-au-lait spots. His mother and her relatives also have numerous Cafe-au-lait spots and neurofibromas.
