5. Q2.(1)
• An 8 year old boy was referred to Pediatrics Clinic, due to developmental
delay and seizure attacks from 6 year ago. There was no evidence of seizure
or mental retardation in his family.
• He had a happy face and the parents noticed developmental delay at 2 year
old. He was admitted in a hospital because of tonic-colonic seizures and
valproate sodium was administered to him.
• On physical examination, he had mandibular prognathism, strabismus and
unusual laughing facial expression. His head circumference was 51 cm.
• His walking was unsteady, but muscles tone, force and deep tendon reflexes
were normal. Joints range of motion was normal. Besides, he had speech
disability and could walk independently, but could not run. He had
restricted communicative abilities and suffered from severe mental
retardation.
Laboratory findings were normal. Brain MRI and CBC test were normal.
