@ARTICLE{Gothwal, author = {Gothwal, Sunil and Nayan, Swati and }, title = {Case Report: Hallervorden–Spatz Syndrome with Seizures}, volume = {7}, number = {2}, abstract ={Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome is a disorder characterized by dystonia, parkinsonism, and iron accumulation in the brain. 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. }, URL = {http://bcn.iums.ac.ir/article-1-535-en.html}, eprint = {http://bcn.iums.ac.ir/article-1-535-en.pdf}, journal = {Basic and Clinical Neuroscience Journal}, doi = {10.15412/J.BCN.03070210}, year = {2016} }
