Popis: Pathogenic CACNA1A gene variants are associated with a spectrum of disorders including migraine with or without hemiplegia, ataxia, epilepsy, and developmental disability. We present a case of a pathogenic variant (c.4046G>A, p.R1349Q) in the CACNA1A gene associated with a clinical phenotype of global developmental delay, left hemiparesis, epilepsy, and stroke-like episodes. Longitudinal neuroimaging demonstrates hemispheric encephalomalacia with mismatched perfusion and angiographic imaging, in addition to progressive cerebellar atrophy.
