We describe the clinical and radiological features of a family with a homozygous mutation in TBC1D24. The phenotype comprised onset of focal seizures at 2 months with prominent eye-blinking, facial and limb jerking with an oral sensory aura. These were controllable with medication but persisted into adult life. Associated features were mild to moderate intellectual disability and cerebellar features. MRI showed subtle cortical thickening with cerebellar atrophy and high signal confined to the ansiform lobule. The disorder is allelic with familial infantile myoclonic epilepsy, where intellect and neurologic examination are normal, highlighting the phenotypic variation with mutations of TBC1D24. ; Zaid Afawi, Simone Mandelstam, Amos D.
