Epileptic Encephalopathy, Early Infantile, 18; Eiee18

Description

Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy-18 is a severe autosomal recessive neurologic disorder characterized by lack of psychomotor development apparent from birth, dysmorphic facial features, early onset of refractory seizures, and thick corpus callosum and persistent cavum septum pellucidum on brain imaging (summary by Basel-Vanagaite et al., 2013).For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of EIEE, see EIEE1 (OMIM ).
