Abstract

A 22-month-old girl was referred to our hospital from Dasht Moqan (northern part of Iran) with history of seizure since one year ago. Her last episode of seizure was on the day of admission with loss of consciousness, generalized tonic colonic movement of limbs, upward gaze, jaw locking and urinary incontinency similar to previous episodes. She was the second child of a family that has 3 normal children and their first child expired because of prematurity. Her parents did not have familial relationship and any familial history of seizure. She had normal growth and developmental history. Her previous episode of seizure was without fever.
