title: A case of midgut malrotation presenting as multiple afebrile seizures.
abstract: Provoked seizures are a common pediatric problem and can be caused by multiple etiologies. However, there have been few reports of benign infantile seizures associated with gastrointestinal tract abnormality. We report on a 3-month-old male infant who presented with multiple afebrile seizures, EEG abnormalities and a midgut malrotation. Surgical treatment of the malrotation resulted in seizure resolution and EEG normalization. This case emphasizes that patients presenting with multiple seizures and symptoms of gastroenteritis should be evaluated for abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract.
