Abstract:
The authors report a female patient with sporadic double cortex syndrome who manifested recurrent interictal schizophrenia-like psychoses. She had no mutations in the doublecortin gene but a pericentric inversion of chromosome 9. Neurodevelopmental disturbances and seizures may be associated with her mental dysfunction.
