Abstract:
Epileptic seizures are a common feature in Menkes disease, an X-linked genetic disorder of copper metabolism. Details of type of seizures are rarely reported. We report the evolution of infantile spasms in two patients with Menkes disease and the relation with subcutaneous administration of copper-histidine.
