Description
Summary:	Dravet syndrome is rare genetic epilepsy syndrome and epileptic encephalopathy. The patient initially has normal developmental profile with plateau or regression that begins after seizure onset. We report a case of two‐year‐old child diagnosed as dravet syndrome with moderate cerebral atrophy and ventricular dilatation as rare MRI finding. Cerebral atrophy and ventricular dilatation can be present in MRI of brain in patient with DS. The patients with DS are undertreated and do not get the standard treatment of DS because of misdiagnosis.
