Infantile Status Epilepticus: A Case of Excessive Water Intake in a Five-Month-Old Girl.

Hyponatremia in children, especially in normal infants below the age of six months, is a common cause of the first onset of afebrile convulsions, which can be rarely associated with water intoxication and can lead to a state of encephalopathy and status epilepticus if not diagnosed and managed properly early. Water intoxication is an uncommon but potentially lethal cause of hyponatremia. We report a five-month-old girl who presented to our hospital with status epilepticus, facial puffiness, cyanosis, and severe hyponatremia secondary to water intoxication.

Decoding the Neurodevelopment and Seizure Puzzle: A Pediatric Case of DYRK1A Gene Mutation and Autosomal Dominant Mental Retardation Type 7.

Autosomal Dominant Mental Retardation Type 7 is a disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the gene. Clinical features associated with this gene mutation include focal dysmorphism, developmental delay, and epilepsy. In this report, we present a case of an 8-year-old boy with a gene mutation, whose clinical manifestations underscore the rarity and clinical challenges of this genetic condition.
