KCNMA1-related refractory status epilepticus responding to vagal nerve stimulation: Case report and literature review

Epilepsy, one of the most prevalent chronic neurological diseases, can cause severe morbidity as well as mortality. A mutation of the KCNMA1 gene results in a rare genetic disease that causes epilepsy as its core presentation. Both neurological and non-neurological manifestations have been reported...

description Epilepsy, one of the most prevalent chronic neurological diseases, can cause severe morbidity as well as mortality. A mutation of the KCNMA1 gene results in a rare genetic disease that causes epilepsy as its core presentation. Both neurological and non-neurological manifestations have been reported in patients with KCNMA1 gene mutation. We are reporting a KCNMA1 gene variant referred to as c.2369C>T (p. Pro790Leu), which encodes the subunit of alpha of calcium-sensitive potassium channels, which causes epilepsy but not dyskinesia in a young Saudi female who is the daughter of consanguineous parents. Our case shows that calcium-sensitive potassium channels can cause an isolated generalized epilepsy as reported previously in a single case. Moreover, this case aids in delineating the clinical and structural picture and the treatment of the KCNMA1 gene mutation in patients.
