Abstract
Epilepsy in TS is not frequent and so far only few cases have been reported, usually associated with cortical dysplasias. We report a Turner patient showing severe neurological impairment, refractory epilepsy and MRI finding of bilateral perisylvian hypoplasia. The possible dysgenetic role of X-chromosome on cortical morphogenesis is also discussed.
