Epilepsy and Neurodegeneration: Clues in the Hair and Blood Vessels!

A 4-month-old boy, born to nonconsanguineous parents, presented with daily, recurrent seizures. The initial focal, motor seizures evolved into clustered, flexor type of infantile spasms at 7 months of age and became polymorphic by 15 months of age. He had global developmental delay with a developmental age of 3-4 months. Additionally, he lost head control with progression and required repeated hospitalizations for pneumonia. He was the third child born in the family with an unremarkable perinatal period.
