Rare Diseases Symptoms Automatic Extraction

An atypical patient with Cowden syndrome and PTEN gene mutation presenting with cortical malformation and focal epilepsy.

[cowden syndrome]

We report the case of a girl with Cowden syndrome (CS) presenting with unilateral perisylvian dysplasia and with drug resistant focal seizures carrying a novel missense mutation 385G>A (G129R) in the PTEN gene. CS has been rarely reported in association with a cortical malformation or epilepsy. These cases suggest that cortical dysplasia needs to be suspected when a CS patient presents with drug-resistant seizures.
