Hi...By what you quote I feel that she might be having Tuberous Sclerosis - wherein there could be abnormalities in the brain and also heart. She definitely needs further evaluation and work up. I do not understand by what you quote as - abnormalities in the brain which go off as the child grows up. There is no such condition like this which gets better by itself.
