SCN1A mutation is most often associated with Dravet syndrome, which is characterized by severe encephalopathy.
One of the other presentations of SCN1A mutation is developmental and epileptic encephalopathy-6B (DEE6B).
It is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by early-infantile seizure onset, profoundly impaired intellectual development, and a hyperkinetic movement disorder.
Here we report a rare case of novel SCN1A mutation presenting as hyperkinetic movement disorder in the form of multifocal dystonia and parakinesia in a 12-year-old boy, which aggravated with the use of sodium channel blockers.
