The Rett syndrome: the first case report from Pakistan.
We report an 11-yr-old girl who visited the outpatient department of Islamabad Children's Hospital with uncontrolled seizures, psychomotor retardation and hand washing movements since early childhood. She had an uneventful peri- and neonatal history with a normal head size at birth and fulfilled the criteria of classic Rett syndrome. This is the first report of the Rett syndrome in Pakistan.
