BACKGROUND Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (EIEE) with suppression burst activity in EEG (Ohtahara syndrome) is a rare type of epileptic encephalopathy in infancy and represents the earliest type of age-related symptomatic generalized epilepsy. The main etiologic factors associated to EIEE are cerebral dysgenesia and metabolopathies, principally nonketotic hyperglycinemia. METHODS We report a neonate with EIEE secondary to glycine encephalopathy, diagnosed by increased of LCR/plasma glycine index.

D004829	Epilepsy, Generalized	Recurrent conditions characterized by epileptic seizures which arise diffusely and simultaneously from both hemispheres of the brain. Classification is generally based upon motor manifestations of the seizure (e.g., convulsive, nonconvulsive, akinetic, atonic, etc.) or etiology (e.g., idiopathic, cryptogenic, and symptomatic).
