Infantile spasms and pigmentary mosaicism [PDF]

Epilepsia, 2009
SummaryWe present a 3‐year‐old boy with pigmentary mosaicism and persistent intractable infantile spasms due to mosaicism of chromosome 7. Getting the diagnosis of pigmentary mosaicism in a child with infantile spasms may not be easy, as most diagnostic work‐up is done in infancy, at a time when skin manifestations can be subtle. We stress the need for
