Abstract:
Epilepsy in Duchene’s muscular dystrophy, though more prevalent than in general population, is seen
in only 6-10% cases of DMD. Earlier studies have reported nonspecific MRI findings in DMD patients
with epilepsy. We report a patient of DMD, diagnosed on muscle biopsy who had definite MRI brain
imaging abnormalities. Our case highlights the rare association of MRI brain signal changes in this
patient with DMD.
