Temporal epilepsy and social cognition in a patient with Turner syndrome | [Epilessia temporale e cognizione sociale in una paziente con sindrome di Turner]

Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic disorder arising from X-monosomy or mosaicism. This genetic condition is associated with specific cognitive deficits and variations in brain volumes, especially in temporal lobes. Epilepsy is unusual in TS and only few cases have been reported, frequently associated with cerebral development abnormalities. In our report, we described the case of focal left temporal epilepsy without cerebral malformations in a woman with TS mosaicism.
