BACKGROUND Ring chromosome 18 (r[18]) is a rare syndrome in which one or both ends of chromosome 18 are lost and the remaining chromosome rejoins to form ring-shaped figures. It is characterized by developmental delay/cognitive disability, facial dysmorphisms, and immunological problems. The phenotype associated with epilepsy is rare and has not yet been reported in China. METHODS We report herein the case of a 12-year-old Chinese girl who presented with typical facial dysmorphisms, developmental delay, cognitive disability, hyperactivity, and epilepsy and discuss the clinical features of r(18) syndromes through comparison with previously described cases worldwide. RESULTS We describe the characteristics of all seizures that have been reported in these cases and propose that the appearance of epilepsy in r(18) patients may be associated with the abnormality of chromosome karyotypes. Further studies are warranted to confirm this.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D002887 Chromosomes, Human, Pair 18 A specific pair of GROUP E CHROMOSOMES of the human chromosome classification. Chromosome 18
D004827 Epilepsy A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).

D012640 Seizures Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells.
