Pantothenate kinase associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) is an uncommon degenerative disease
of the basal ganglia caused by mutations in the PANK2 gene. We describe a 19-years-old man with
clinically and radiologically diagnosed case of PKAN, who presented with generalized tonic clonic
seizures 2 years preceding other classical extrapyramidal features of the disease. PKAN presenting
with seizure has not, to our knowledge, been reported previously.
