Band-like calcification with simplified gyration and polymicrogyria (BLC-PMG) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by intracranial calcification and polymicrogyria. This combination is usually seen when congenital infection occurs (TORCH syndrome), but no infectious agents are detected in BLC-PMG (pseudo-TORCH syndrome). Affected individuals show early-onset seizures and severe microcephaly.
