Schinzel-Giedion syndrome: A further cause of early myoclonic encephalopathy and vacuolating myelinopathy

Here, we report a male child with Schinzel-Giedion syndrome associated with intramyelinic edema detected on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and persistent suppression-burst pattern on electroencephalography (EEG) with erratic myoclonus of the extremities and face. Similar to nonketotic hyperglycinemia, Schinzel-Giedion syndrome may be recognized as another causative genetic disease of early myoclonic encephalopathy and vacuolating myelinopathy.
