%X An 18-month-old girl presented with concerns of language delay and recurrent seizures from the age of 12 months. She was the second born to a nonconsanguineous couple and had an uneventful perinatal period. Her development was age-appropriate except in the language domain. She recognized words for common items like ˇ°cup,ˇ± and listened when spoken to, but her expressive language was restricted to gurgling sounds and babbling. Her seizures were brief, generalized tonic, and were associated with a short period of postictal drowsiness. Grinding of teeth was also noted. The seizure frequency had gradually increased to 4¨C5 episodes per week over the last 6 months, and the parents had noticed the appearance of generalized tremulousness and lack of any new milestones. At 18 months of age, she was able to take a few steps by holding on to furniture, pick up small objects, and wave bye-bye. Her speech was unclear, she used gestures to communicate and was still babbling
