Biotin-Responsive Basal Ganglia Disease: A Treatable and Reversible Neurological Disorder of Childhood

Abstract

Biotin-responsive basal ganglia disease is a rare childhood neurological disorder of uncertain etiology that is treatable if suspected and diagnosed. Only few cases have been reported earlier in literature. We report a case of biotin-responsive basal ganglia disease suspected clinically, corroborated by neuroimaging and a dramatic response to biotin therapy.
