Abstract
Ring chromosome 14 syndrome is a rare genetic disorder. Typically, children with this syndrome have distinct facial features, development delay, microcephaly, seizures, ocular abnormalities, and recurrent respiratory infections. Epilepsy associated with ring chromosome 14 generally shows intractable seizures. We describe a six-month-old girl with ring chromosome 14 syndrome who presented with early-onset and drug-resistant seizures.
