Purpose: Benign infantile seizures [BIS], familial and non-familial, represent a benign, age-related idiopathic syndrome of infancy. The aim of the current paper is to document the presence of the syndrome in Saudi Arabia and in Arab populations and to discuss the characteristic electroclinical features and the benign nature of this syndrome.
Patients And Methods: A case series of 275 patients with epileptic seizures (age range: 2 months-13 years) were followed over a period of 3 years and 7 months.
Article Synopsis
- Three sisters were diagnosed with Cockayne syndrome (CS) after a 12-year-old girl displayed typical symptoms, including growth and developmental delays.
- Medical evaluations such as brain CT and bone X-rays confirmed the diagnosis, leading to the identification of two other sisters with varying severity of the disease.
- While two of the sisters suffered from cataracts and experienced severe health issues leading to early death, the third sister showed milder symptoms and remains alive, indicating different manifestations of the same genetic mutation in siblings.
