Abstract :

Periventricular heterotopia is a rare and chronic disease which cannot be cured completely but well defined treatment with proper history taking and patient counseling can improve patient’s quality of life. It occurs due to malfunctioning of cortical development caused when a cluster of neuron fails to migrate from the ventricular zone to cereal cortex resulting in seizures. Current case report is of a 42 year old female patient presented with repetitive seizures, weakness, muscle pain and unreasonable mood swings. Poor medication adherence caused worsening of patient’s condition. The patient was successfully recovered by proper medication and patient counseling.
