Proteus syndrome associated with hemimegalencephaly and Ohtahara syndrome: report of two cases

Halisson Bastos et al. Seizure. 2008 Jun.

Abstract

The authors report two cases of Brazilian children with most of the common syndromic features of Proteus syndrome, such as asymmetric overgrowth of tissues, skin abnormalities, hypotonia and mental retardation. In both patients, a refractory epilepsy, compatible with Ohtahara syndrome, as well as hemimegalencephaly, with asymmetric distribution of facial fat, were also diagnosed.
