title: Rett's syndrome - a neurodevelopmental disorder: report of two cases.
abstract: Rett's syndrome (RS), a pervasive neurodevelopmental disorder, is being increasingly recognized all over the world, but there is paucity of reports from India. Due to its manifestations at any stage of development, it is important to arrive at a correct diagnosis. Two cases are presented, highlighting the need to recognize this relatively uncommon disorder and to differentiate it from various other neurodegenerative disorders.
