Variant case of sturge-weber syndrome

Abstract

Dear Editor, A 17-year-old male was admitted to hospital with epileptic seizures. It was learnt that he had seizures since he was aged one year. He had no febrile seizures and his neuromotor development was normal. In his seizures, which lasted less than one minute, his eyes and head deviated to the right and sometimes licking and mouth automatisms were added. It was learnt that his number of seizures sometimes increased and seizures evolved to secondary generalized seizures. It was learnt from his family that he had not used valproic acid regularly for the last one year and he could not receive regular examinations because of socio-economic reasons.
