ABSTRACT
Congenital bilateral perisylvian syndrome (CBPS) is an extremely rare, congenital neuronal migration disorder characterized by refractory seizures, pseudobulbar palsy, delayed milestones, cognitive deficits and bilateral perisylvian polymicrogyria on brain imaging. We report a case of one and half year old girl with intractable seizures, spastic quadriparesis and feeding problems since birth with magnetic resonance imaging findings of CBPS. This case report emphasizes the importance of detailed investigation in patients with epilepsy, especially patients with refractory seizures for the possibility of identifying a specific syndrome.
Key words: Intractable seizures, Global developmental delay, Polymicrogyria.
