Introduction: Megalencephalic leucoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) is a rare disease characterised by macrocephaly and early onset of white matter degeneration. This disease should be included in the differential diagnosis of macrocephaly with early onset leucoencephalopathy.

He had history of mild motor developmental delay seizures and also had megalencephaly during the first year of life. The diagnosis was made on the basis of characteristic finding in MRI.
