Abstract
The article presents a case study of a gravida 1, para 1, 26-year-old female patient who developed in utero seizures and dentato-olivary dysplasia (DOD), which was caused by mutations in the SCN2A gene. An examination of the fetus from the medical termination of the pregnancy revealed several conditions including fetal karyotype, early-onset epilepsy, and fetal akinesia. The link between DOD and Ohtahara syndrome, cerebellar hypoplasia, microcephaly or corpus callosum agenesis is discussed.
