Keywords:
Aicardi syndrome, infantile spasms, corpus callosum agenesis, epileptic encephalopathy, microcephalyAbstract
Early childhood epileptic encephalopathies are among the most significant challenges in modern pediatric neurology. They are characterized by early onset of epileptic seizures and may contribute progressive psychomotor disfunction.
Aicardi syndrome is one of the rare genetic disorder, which is characterized by a triad of symptoms: corpus callosum agenesis, infantile spasms and ophthalmological abnormalities. Despite the rarity of this condition, its study is of considerable scientific interest, particularly in the context of the limited number of reported clinical cases in the Republic of Uzbekistan
