Here, authors reported the case of a 2-year-old female who exhibited typical clinical features, including seizures, developmental delay, and distinctive ocular abnormalities. MRI showed corpus callosum agenesis, an interhemispheric fissure cyst, and polymicrogyria. EEG depicted high voltage, polymorphic rhythm with superimposed multifocal spikes and wave discharges.
