Abstract
|
|
|
The association of neurofibromatosis with benign myoclonic epilepsy in infancy is a extremely rare condition. We experienced of benign myoclonic epilepsy with neurofibromatosis type I in a 4 month-old male patient, who had recurrent myoclonic
attacks,
relative delay of psychomotor development, hypsarrhythmic EEG pattern, normal brain MRI, with multiple Caf-au-lait spots. His mother and her relatives also have numerous Caf-au-lait spots and neurofibromas. He was managed with valproic acid, and
seizures are easily controlled but the relative delay of psychomotor developments are not caught-up the growth.
