https://doi.org/10.33667/2078-5631-2025-2-63-67
Abstract
The article presents cases of epilepsy in 2 patients with a rare hereditary pathology associated with a chromosomal mutation – deletion of chromosome 14. The clinical observations we have described are of professional and scientific interest, as they relate to a rare neurological pathology. Increasing the awareness of doctors about this pathology will facilitate its timely diagnosis and treatment.
