Abstract:
The EEG findings in 15 children with Hypomelanosis of Ito have been reviewed and related to the clinical and CT scan data. Although no consistent electroclinical associations were found in the group as a whole, there was some association between the presence of abnormal rhythmic EEG activity and the radiological appearances of neuronal migration defects. In addition, the possibility is raised that there may be a distinctive sub-group of children with Ito's syndrome who present with an early onset of intractable seizures and who have a neuronal migration defect.
