Unraveling the Underlying Neuropsychiatric Aspects of Epilepsy from Tuberous Sclerosis Complex to Fahr’s Syndrome: A Case Series
Epilepsy is a condition characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. It can affect individuals of any age and can manifest with various neuropsychiatric disorders. It can have a varying etiology. Among many reasons, conditions such as tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and Fahr’s syndrome can present with epilepsy as one of the clinical features. TSC is a genetic disorder which is characterized by multisystem non-cancerous tumors, seizure episodes, and intellectual disability. On the other hand, Fahr’s syndrome is a rare autosomal-dominant neurological disorder that is characterized by calcification of the basal ganglia. Here, we present the case series of a 30-year-old male with TSC and a 9-year-old male with Fahr’s syndrome, both presenting with epilepsy.
