Abstract

Background: Glucose transporter type 1 deficiency
syndrome is the result of impaired glucose transport
into the brain. Patients with glucose transporter type
1 syndrome may present with infantile seizures,
developmental delay, acquired microcephaly, spasticity
and ataxia.
Case Report: Here, we report a rare case of glucose
transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome caused by a
different pathogenic variant in a 10-day-old neonate who
presented with intractable seizures and respiratory arrest.
Conclusion: This new pathogenic variant can be seen in
glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome

Keywords

Glut 1 deficiency syndrome, neonatal seizures, mutation
