Epilepsy and abnormal MRI brain findings in a patient with Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy – A rare association

ABSTRACT

Epilepsy in Duchene’s muscular dystrophy, though more prevalent than in general population, is seen in only 6-10% cases of DMD. Earlier studies have reported nonspecific MRI findings in DMD patients with epilepsy. We report a patient of DMD, diagnosed on muscle biopsy who had definite MRI brain imaging abnormalities. Our case highlights the rare association of MRI brain signal changes in this patient with DMD.
