The disease is caused by mutations in gene encoding pantothenate kinase 2 (PANK2) and patients have pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration. We present an 8-year-old boy with progressive muscle dystonia, neuroregression, frequent fall and multiple injury marks of different stages. Seizures are rare with PANK2. This child had seizure onset at 4 years of age and seizure free on valproate and levetricetam. The CT scan showed tiger eye appearance and mutations on PANK2 gene. %> http://bcn.iums.ac.ir/article-1-535-en.pdf %P 165-166 %& 165 %! %9 News and Reports %L A-10-653-1 %+ Department of Pediatrics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India. %G eng %@ 2008-126X %[ 2016
