Early epileptic encephalopathy with suppression bursts and olivary-dentate dysplasia

Neuropediatrics. 1992 Jun;23(3):162-4. doi: 10.1055/s-2008-1071334.

Abstract

A case of neonatal epileptic encephalopathy with suppression-bursts associated with olivary dentate nuclei dysplasia is reported. This unusual association shows that the so-called Ohtahara syndrome could correspond to several different brain malformations sometimes disclosable only by neuropathological examination.
