My son had 2 seizures and has cafe au lait spots. could this be from neurofibromatosis?

Maybe,maybe not: NF patients are at risk of seizures, as are any other kid. I would discuss the matter with your doc, with more data about the time, length, type ,frequency and other features.With enough data, your doc may help you8 sort that out.
