Pediatrician 's  Response
a picture of these dots will be very helpful, there are a few diseases that present with the above described dots, one of them is neurofibromatosis which is a neurocutanous disease in which there is other findings with that such as seizures , developmental delay .
but in order to confirm this diagnosis a brain CT is needed because this disorder is associated with benign brain tumors .
some children with this disorder can have the brown spots but without any seizures or developmental delay .
I hope this helps
