摘要: Epilepsy in Friedreich's ataxia is rare. We describe a 9-year-old boy with who had onset of symptoms the second year life and developed generalized epilepsy at age 5 years. On cerebral magnetic resonance imaging, he has subependymal gray-matter heterotopia. suggest that his heterotopia might be related to diagnosis early length guanine-adenine-adenine (GAA) triplet repeat expansion.
